Dredging update
by Dave Shearer 12 Nov '25

12 Nov '25

DREDGING is done! Equipment has been removed. The north parking lot will be closed Thursday for restriping. Please park in the south parking lot or by the restrooms if you will be coming out Thursday. The Deep Channel buoys will be removed except G1 and R2. Those buoys will remain as they are too deep for pilings. All the others have been replaced by pilings that have been marked in accordance with navigation rules. This means, as you return to the marina, the right side pilings have red triangles marked with even numbers. The left pilings are green squares marked with odd numbers. The first piling, as you return to the marina is G1 and R2. I will send coordinates for these pilings soon. The launch ramp will remain closed until Saturday., We hope to open it up Saturday morning. The channels that were dredged are showing depths of 6 to 8 feet deep. Boats seem to be getting out with ease now. Thanks Dave

DREDGING UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

The bulk of the dredging is complete now. Pilings are being driven to replace the navigation buoys for the Deep Channel. These pilings will have appropriate red/green lights with proper markers identifying each marker. The furthest out buoys will remain there as the water is too deep for pilings. The dredgers start removing dredging equipment (barges) next week. The week after that, they start tearing down the fence blocking the parking lot and doing repairs to the parking lot as well as restriping the whole north parking lot. After that is done and inspections are complete we will open the launch ramp area back up. We did not get all the dredging done that we would have liked to do but we got much more dredging done than we expected with the money and other limitations we had. In the dredged areas we are seeing six to eight feet of depth. We will probably lift most of the navigation restrictions sometime late next week. Thank you, for your patience Dave

TURKEY FEST
by Dave Shearer 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

It is time for the annual Turkey Fest. This social has been going on nearly 30 years now. I don't know how much longer this tradition will go on as, when I retire, I'm not sure someone will pick it up. I hope so. SATURDAY, November 22nd. Is the date. We will be serving deep fried turkeys promptly at 4pm. Last year we cooked 12 deep fried turkeys and served over 225 people! That shattered the old record! If you have never had deep fried turkey before you are missing out! I will provide the turkeys but side dishes are always appreciated. You must RSVP so I know how many turkeys to purchase. This event is for the whole marina community, employees, volunteers, and dredgers. I am accepting RSVP's now. Hope to see you there. Thank you. Dave
