Parkshore Marina

Hi all. There are couple of posts here from last November asking boaters to check boats, lines, snubbers, canvas due to upcoming storms.

Remember the Bomb Cyclone? Where our marina had hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and boats sunk? Yeah, that one.

Please reread Ed's posts and check your boats, lines, snubbers and canvas.

Enough said.

Letter from Ed to slip owners:

I ask again for EVERYONE to come inspect your boat to ensure proper SIZE of lines are installed, with snubbers as required and that you are 4 point tied with spring lines before the next storm.

many of the boats had or have frayed lines, lack snubbers or are using small nylon line as primary tie up lines for the boats. You need to inspect, review and change to protect your boat, your neighbors boat and the marina infrastructure.

The 60mph winds and 4 to 5 foot rollers did damage to outer slips.
Several boats broke loose.
Marina manage Ed and team of boaters worked to retie lines.
Some boats may be moved so repairs can be made to finger piers.

Our neighbors, Rainier Yacht Club, will have a lighted boat cruise on December 6th. We will congregate off Parkshore about 6:45 or so. We will head out at 7:00 to Gene Coulon Park. It will be SLO Troll in lead , monitor Channel 69.
Put it on your calendar and invite your friends. All lake boaters are welcome.

As father winter appears ready to come to Seattle we at the Marina remind everyone to prepare your boats first winter weather. Ensure you are properly tied off and secured in accordance with HOA rules and regulations and that you have taken appropriate winter protocols for your particular boat

As we battle Mother Nature we are trying to complete the parking lot project

We have a window of good weather it appears Thursday October 12

Thursday October 12 at 4 pm parking LOT A will be closed until Friday October 13 at about 12 pm

Please utilize lot B for access to the boats and
Marina

Vehicles inside LOT. A upon closure will NOT be able to leave until Friday afternoon so please adjust accordingly

Ed

PLEASE BE ADVISED
Parking lot work is scheduled to begin on the 29th at 6 am as we try and take advantage of the weather window. All vehicles in Lot B must be removed by 6 am Friday September 29 until 6 am Sunday October 1.

Sunday October 1 at 6 am all vehicles must be moved from the bottom part of lot A so we can complete parking lot pavement work in the lower section of Lot A that runs North South along water edge. This will reopen Tuesday October 2 at 6 am.

If the weather holds we will then do the remaining part of Lot A starting October 2 thru October 4th with single lane access to this lot.
