Around the Yard during the Winter

If you are using heat in the boat make sure it is well vented and turned off when you leave.
Boats are not to be left plugged to shore power while unattended. Most of the power is turned off around the Marina in the winter.
Tie your ladder off.
There are no facilities open during the winter so plan ahead.

Winter ahead

Thank you to our customers and staff for another successful season at the Marina.

Things are eerily quite as the boats rest in their cradles and there is an unobstructed view of beautiful Colpoy's Bay. As we look forward to next season we hope you all have a safe and happy winter ahead.

As a valued customer we appreciate your business and continued support of the Marina and Yacht Club.

Enjoy your boating season!

Sincerely,

Jeff Hammill
