Fulford Harbour:
We are pleased to announce that we will be using this
outstation again in partnership with Nanaimo. We are
sharing 100’ with Nanaimo on the outside of A dock.
Please see moorage board to get correct location.
Remember, this is shared and we must respect each other.
Also, for a test, we have contracted with Fulford marina
for winter usage. We use the inside of A dock at the end
by the ramp. Please fill out the log book; if we don’t
have many people stay there then we will cancel it. We
have this location until the 14th June, when the shared
part will start.
Pender
Harbour Resort and Marina
-
We are pleased to
announce that we have a new outstation at Pender Harbour,
Duncan Cove, from June 01 to 30 Sept 2009. We have
100’ on the outside of the 1st vertical dock extending
out into the bay. Vancouver Rowing club will be sharing
the other side(inside). They also offer a 10% discount
on paid moorage and any other facilities that we might
use.
The marina has separate
showers, washrooms, laundry facilities with a swimming
pool. This is a resort so it has lovely grounds, flowers
etc. Duncan Cove is located as the 5th cove as we enter
Pender Harbour, the next just west of Hospital Bay.
Look up on their
website to see all the amenities etc. I am sure that you
will fall in love with the place. We are going to
insist that you can stay on the dock no more than 2 days
before you must leave. You can still anchor in the bay
and use the facilities. No staying on the dock for
extended periods as some have been doing. Also you must
stay on your boat to sleep. No disappearing for days
with the marina not being able to get a hold of you. A
separate Google map will be posted. Again, you must sign
the log book, it is important to keep this up to date
for our records so that we know weather it is a worthy
project.

It
is imperative that we use these outstations or we will
loose them due to inactivity. There appears to be a
distinct feeling among some members that we are paying
too much for these. The only way we can keep costs down
is to use them (boat nites/$). It is up to you.
If you want more info,
please call me.

Fulford Harbour update - Fall 2008 to 2009.
The executive vote to extend the use of Fulford Harbour
marina as an outstation for the winter period. The use
period will be as follows:
Sept 16-30-----------continue to use the outside of “A”
dock
Oct 01- Nov 15----- we have been allowed to use the
inside of “A” dock from the beginning of the linear
portion for 100 ft.
Feb 15-May 31---- use inside of “A” dock as in Oct
01-Nov 15
Jun 01-15-------------outside of “A” dock
Please note: The marina will be closed during the winter
period. Power will be shut off to “A” dock except where
we use. We will have the use of 30 amp power on a couple
of sites.
The marina will leave a key in a lock box for us (we
provide), where can gain access to the showers and
washrooms. The key
must be returned to the lock box each time of
use or there will be a $20.00 charge to the offending
boat. Also power is charged at a rate of $6.00 per day.
Please put your money in the envelope provided in the
lock box. This is an honour system. Please do not
destroy the trust the Marina has offered to us. This
privilege will be revoked if we don’t pay for our power.
Thank
You,
Don

Staff Captain 2009
