Attention
all Driftwood Marina tenants! As a
special promotion, Driftwood is offering $75.00
off a month’s rent to any berther who refers a friend to rent one of
our slips. If you know anyone who is
shopping around for a new marina, tell him or her about us and if they choose
Driftwood as their new “port of call” we will deduct $75.00 off your next
month’s rent! Be sure to tell
perspective tenants to mention your name so that we can “give credit where
credit is due.”
We have been
working on H Shed and now are offering a limited number of 26 foot slips at our 22
foot price. This new program
promises to be successful as we’ve rented a few already and with the recent
improvements, we hope to be at capacity soon.
Bonnie and I
went to a round table meeting with Congressman McNerney at the Big Break
Regional Shoreline Visitor Center. The
meeting, held Friday 8/15, was a discussion about the proposed tunnels. About 15 members of the community were in
attendance, including representatives from the sanitation district, other
marinas, and various conservation programs.
The overwhelming consensus is that the peripheral canal would be devastating
to the Delta. The tunnel would adversely
affect wildlife, agriculture, boating, and the delicate ecosystem that is
unique to the California Delta. Let’s do
whatever we can to maintain and improve our home and the habitat for so many.
The Visitor
Center at the Big Break Regional Shoreline is right next door and offers lots
of hands on activities, trails, and quite a bit of in-depth information about
our Delta. The park district is
continuing to grow this wonderful facility as new exhibits are in the
works. Nature based activities are
planned for every weekend at the Visitor Center and we encourage young and old
and in between to check out this fun place!
For more information, call (510) 544-3050.
The state
law of California prohibits smoking and animals in the restrooms. With this in mind, kindly keep the premises
clean and litter free by using ashtrays and picking up after your pets. Also, dogs must be leashed or within your
complete voice control at all times. These
facilities are for berthers and their guests only. It is the responsibility of our tenants to
advise their guests of our rules and regulations.
The weather
has been spectacular for fishing! We
hope you fishermen and women are getting out there and casting a few. September and the approaching months can be
the very best for fishing and we look forward to all of your “fish tales.”
Rick, the
gentleman from aquatic harvesting will be in the Marina this coming Tuesday,
September 9. We wanted to wait for an
optimum low tide. As in years past, the
weeds are always a challenge but nothing that we can’t handle. Thank
you for your patience!
We are
pleased to announce that our Marina Office will be open 7 days a week. We did forgo switching to winter hours last
year and as it proved to be a benefit to our berthers, it was decided to try it
again this year.
On behalf of
the staff, I’d like to wish you all a very fun and safe Autumn Season and look
forward to seeing you here at the Marina.
