With the return of the
warm weather, we are really glad so many of you have been out lately! The
water is warming up and many of you are getting the jet skis out. Fun
times ahead! On that note, please be mindful of the no wake zone inside
the harbor. That means you can’t “open it up” until you pass the
harbormaster’s house. Also, all boaters, please “shut it down” so your
wake does not wash into the shore under harbormaster’s house either.
Hopefully you have
noticed the spring cleaning we had done around the marina. It is ongoing,
and we want the marina to be a place you look forward to coming to. With
that note, we need each of you to do your part and be sure you keep the area
around your boat picked up and maintained as well as getting all of your trash
inside the dumpsters and the lids closed.
With the drought in its
4th year, we must conserve an additional 30 % at the
marina. We need your cooperation by being ever so vigilant in your water
use. When washing your boats, please do not use hoses that do not have a
grip trigger; one that stops the flow of water when you are not using it.
Also, sweep your berth areas rather than spraying them down and, please, please
wash your cars at home…
The Department of Water
Resources, in their infinite wisdom, will be installing the “temporary” rock
barrier at False River between Bradford and Jersey Islands on May 7th.
When traveling to Frank’s Tract you will need to detour through Dutch Slough or
Fisherman’s Cut. The barrier is scheduled to be removed in
November. If using Dutch Slough, remember that the Jersey Island Bridge
is a fixed bridge, so watch your tides. Clearance at high tide is 15 feet
and 19 feet at low tide.
Happy Boating,
Mike
