Thank you to all the boat-owners who dropped old tarps off beside the Annex – they’re really useful for the annual “Bring on the Bay” swim event in July.  We now have enough! If you need to dispose of your old tarps, please take them home – the tarps fill our dumpsters too quickly and that causes other problems.

The annual Cooperative Launch for Boats on Trailers is set for the morning of Saturday, April 30th.  In support, the Yard will be closed to vehicle traffic until noon.  Dock carts will be available at the East Gate to help ferry your equipment to your boats.  Please ensure that the carts are returned when you’re done.

Looking ahead, we’re anticipating a sharp increase in launch activity and it’s possible that we’ll need to close the yard to vehicles as early as April 28 and/or April 29. This is done to help our Service Providers launch boats quickly and efficiently. If necessary, timing and details will follow. more…
