The construction at the marina has finally been completed with the addition of
the Store/grill. It's been a long process and we'd like to thank the slip
holders for being so patient during the construction phase. You'll notice some
changes in the layout of the Office and parking areas. There is Handicapped
parking on both sides of the building along with a thirty minute parking zone to
make it easier to unload and load your vehicles. The dock carts are now located
under a shelter at the end of the Store/grill building and the dumpster has been
moved to a semi enclosed area at the edge of the north parking lot.
   The marina is happy to announce that Sailfish Catering will be operating the new
Store/Grill and is in the process of getting the building ready for its opening.
They will be offering a varied menu and they will also be serving beer and wine
by the drink for those who wish to have a cool drink with their meal. The
Sailfish Grill will also have convenience store items for the items you may have
forgotten to bring with you. The staff at the marina has been enjoying their
food since last fall for our lunches and we can attest to the quality of the
food they serve. We all are looking forward to this new partnership and feel
that this will fill the need of a dining facility at the marina and make it an
enjoyable place to relax with its indoor and outdoor dining tables.
   The Slip holders and visitor bathrooms are now upgraded to include air
conditioning, as well as the new laundry facility. This should make it much more
comfortable for our slip holders and park visitors on those hot summer days.
Slip holders will need to stop by the marina office to get the new key code for
the Slip holder bathrooms and the laundry if you haven't already done so. We do
ask that the Slip Holders keep this number confidential in order to keep it as
private as possible for the Slip Holder.
   Over the winter the marina installed bird lines to help keep the docks in better
condition and will be removed shortly. The marina purchased a new power washer
to clean the docks and in the process of cleaning all the docks and finger
piers, so if your section isn't completed yet it will be soon. We do ask though
if you do decide to wash your area with a power washer during the season to not
take it beyond the gray patina as doing so will reduce the life expectancy of
the wood.
   The marina is planning to hold the second annual Arts & Seafood festival on
August 7th and we are thrilled that the IRBA will be holding their inshore
fishing tournament at the same time. We hope that we will be able to expand the
events here at the marina and make it a more enjoyable place to be.
   In addition the marina now has a blog page for fishing reports that also is on
our web page. Please if you have a good catch, contact the office so we can get
some bragging photo's and post them on our fishing report. We would like to get
the reports from not only the Charter Fleet but from the Recreational Anglers as
well.
   We are looking forward to seeing our slip holders again and hope we have a great
summer.
