GSL Slip Renters and Marina Users
As you know, the water has been shut off to all the
docks, the pump-a-head and the porta potty rinse station.
Water will remain on at the restrooms, freezeless
faucets at the rinse station and the parking lot, freezeless faucet by Ranger
dock.
In preparation for winter shoveling we are
requesting the cooperation of all our slip renters. This is to make the
docks safer and snow removal easier. Following is a list of things we
would like help from the marina users by November 4th:
- Please remove your hoses from the docks.
Place them on your boats on take them home. They are a trip hazard and
make snow removal dificult.
- Please remove any power cords not being
used. If you are using your power cord please make sure they are of the
proper type as per marina policy. Make sure they are not draped in the
water. Please make sure they are secure and as non-obstructive as
possible (Cords that are not of the proper size or are draped in the water
will be tagged and removed).
- Pleaes remove batteries, spars, grills and other
items not being used from the main section of the dock. Please do not
store these items on the fingers either.
- Please remove all dinghies from the main dock
section and from the water (unless properly secured in the confines of your
own slip. 'K' dockers; please remove all your dinghies from the main dock and
from the water at the beginning of the dock. These boats fill with water
and then sink causing stress to the dock. SEE NOTE BELOW.
- Please remove dinghies from the fingers of the
dock. If the dinghies are turned upside-down, securely tied to the dock
and your slip neighbor does not mind, then these dinghies and kayaks may
remain on the slip fingers. Realize though, that this finger will not be
shoveled for snow.
- Make sure your dock lines are prepared for a long
windy winter.
- Make sure your scuppers are cleared of all debris
so your boat won't be a sinking hazard. We already have two boats (one
on 'I' dock and one on "L" dock) that are taking on water due to clogged
scuppers.
- Make sure your furlers are secured. better
yet, If you do not plan on using your boat on a regular basis, you may just
want to remove your sails.
- Make sure your rigging and halyards are
secure.
NOTE: Many of you plan to use your dinghies
for the upcoming Pumkin Patch. Please do so. We just want these
dinghies removed from the water and properly secured by the 4th of
November.
If you have any questions, please feel free to
email or call the office.
Thank you
