Please remember if you intend to sand the bottom of your boat you must lay a ground cover down to collect any scrapings and dust, as all anti-fouling paints are considered hazardous waste. The season is shaping up as one of the most active ones in many years with slip sales approaching the numbers we recorded in the 70s, resulting in many new families and friends throughout the marina dock neighborhoods.
Transient reservations are steady, indicating an active season ahead.
I have restricted the size of the groups arriving this season and due to slip sales, the locations available are for the most part - on the front dock near the fuel dock. Speaking of the fuel dock, the dock master this year is Dave Pountney. Dave, shortly after departing his post as the club manager of the American Yacht Club in Rye, NY, went to work for the Brewer Wickford Cove Yard in Rhode Island. Dave has a strong management history having served as the General Manager for a shipyard and marina in Canada. Ken Watson will be returning this year to assist Dave and I in managing the resort side of this facility.
