DIVER SERVICES

Fred Eddowes ask me to let you know that  D J Cline of Nautical Limits, Inc. will be available at our docks for bottom cleaning and  zinc replacements.  He will be there on Oct. 4 and subsequent months on the first Tuesday every month.  He charges $2.00  per foot for bottom cleaning and $10 for zinc replacements plus cost of zinc.  Extra difficult bottoms may cost $20 - $30 more for the first cleaning. 

He is good and this is a great way to save money because he works in the water so you don't have to haul your boat.  He is also available for other dive work if needed.

Folks can reach DJ via e-mail – dj@nauticallimits.com    DJ did my boat 9/12 and did an excellent job.

HURRICANE IRENE

Please make every effort to secure your boat for the onslaught of
Hurricane Irene which is expected to hit our area this coming
weekend. Double up on your lines - especially your spring lines and
remove anything from no deck which is not part of the structure of
the boat. We would also recommend that you take down your bimini tops.

NEW FIRE EXTINGUISHERS INSTALLED

This morning David installed six new fire extinguishers on the
docks. There are six in all, two on the end of each entrance ramp.

UPGRADED SEPTIC SYSTEM FOR CLUBHOUSE

Our maintenance director Phil Mullins is slowly working through all
of the deficiencies in our different systems. The toilet at the
clubhouse has, on several occasions, been prone to the tank
overflowing and flooding the toilet with sewage. To alleviate this
problem Phil has had a new pump installed, a new float switch and
also a red warning light. This warning light is to give us early
warning if there is a problem with the system overfilling. If
anyone sees the warning light flashing you should inform one of the
directors listed on the notice board between the two toilets.

NEW PUMP-OUT STATION

We are pleased to let you know that after much research and many
weeks of hard work we have placed an order for a new/replacement
peristaltic pump-out station. This, together with the installation,
will cost around $11,000 - of which the good news is that state pays
for 75%. We think you will all agree that this additional upgrade
to our marina will make life so much easier for us all. In the
very near future we will be placing an order for a solar powered tank alert.

TURNING THE WATER BACK ON

The water on the docks will be turned on April 2. There is a
certain procedure we need to follow so we do not exert too much
pressure at once which can cause leak problems. We must follow this
procedure so we do not invalidate our warranty.
