FLYING HIGH

Ed Fisher and David Laughton take to the air in Ed's plane for some interesting views of UHYC.

Enjoy

UP IN THE AIR

Ed Fisher took David Laughton up in his plane to get a few photos of the harbour before the boats move in. Here are two of the images.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Did you know if you click on each photograph it comes in full screen?

RECONNECTING WITH DOMINION POWER

Although we will not have power on the slips for another two or three
weeks, if you phoned in a disconnect with Dominion power when this
project started, you can phone in now and give your slip number and
ask for a reconnection so that you will have power when the pedestals
are wired. New slip owners can call in and advise Dominion Power of
their slip number and open a fresh account.

FINAL MOVE-IN DATES

The move-in dates for the new docks have been announced as follows:

Slips 49 - 129 on or after June 30, 2010

Slips 1 - 48 on or after 5:00 p.m. July 2, 2010

In view of the fact that your committee is allowing move-in without
electrical or plumbing services, we require each slip owner and
renter to sign and return a release on or before moving into your new
slip. These forms have been either emailed or mailed to you.

PARTY TIME

Join us on July 3rd in celebrating our new docks. 

Come and spend time with your fellow slip owners, get to know each other and the board and let us all celebrate this wonderful achievement.    Reservation form http://www.uhyc.com/pdflib/dock-opening-2010.pdf

MOVING DAY DRAWS NEAR

BOATS IN SLIP 49 – 129 (SOUTH DOCKS) 
CAN BE MOORED AT THE NEW FACILITY BEGINNING JULY 1 WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE NO UTILITIES ON ANY OF THESE SLIPS. 
 
FOR SLIPS 1 – 48 (NORTH DOCKS)
WE ARE HOPING THAT THESE SLIPS CAN BE OCCUPIED BEGINNING JULY 1 BUT THIS WILL BE CONFIRMED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.
 
Your dock replacement committee has rearranged construction sequences in order to allow earlier move in dates for all slips.
 
Utility cables and plumbing on the south docks will be fully installed and decks made safe for public access and pedestal bases will be installed but not in working order.
 
We are hoping Utility cables and plumbing on the north docks will be fully installed and decks made safe for public access but pedestal bases and meters will not be wired and will not be in working order.
 
Both bathhouses will be in full working order.
 
After the July 4 vacation work will continue on the pedestal installation and should be completed within 2 weeks.
 
We thank you for your patience, understanding and support.

CREEK VIEWS

Thought you would enjoy these views taken from the "lighthouse" yesterday.

HOW TO MOOR YOUR BOAT

Here is a link to the web page which shows you how you can tie your boat up in your new floating dock http://www.uhyc.com/dock-mooring.htm

STEEL PILINGS

Here is one of the steel pilings that the floating docks move up and
down on - also a photograph of several installed pilings.

LOOKING NORTH

Here are two views looking north - as you can see the pedestals are
well on the way. Of course the tops of the pedestals will be
installed after the plumbing.

PEDESTAL INSTALLATION

Here is a photograph showing the pedestal installation process.

ENORMOUS WIRING PROJECT

This photo shows the enormous amount and size of the wiring that MHES
(our electrical contractors) are running through the docks for us.

FINAL DOCKS ARRIVED TODAY

The last consignment of docks are being unloaded as we speak! The
north docks will soon be all in place. Wiring installation is
underway, and soon the pedestals will be going into place. Lots
going on at UHYC. More photos soon.

PEDESTAL CONSIGNMENT

All the pedestals are safely unloaded and are now stored away. As
you can see the pedestals are very good looking and robust.

PEDESTALS ARRIVES

Our new electric pedestals arrived at 5 a.m. this morning so David
was up and off early. Everything is looking good and I will get
photos out ASAP. Right now I am running on UK time!!

UPDATES

I am back from the UK now - so updates will be here soon!
