Tim,

The marina does give several types of discount depending upon the affiliations you have. Its hard to believe on a 296 gals of fuel that NBOA, BOAT/US, SeaTOW, etc doesn't help. You might call the dockmaster, Geroge, ext 39 and just ask him about it.

Shaun wasn't done, but was having difficulty following the wiring the morning I was there.........he's isn't a give up kind of guy, so I'd bet he has it figured out.


And, on pumping your own fuel, given the guys they usually have on the dock, I'm going to pump my own anyway. But there is a story behind why they don't do it for customers any longer....on one holiday weekend several years ago, the same guy filled a gas boat with diesel, filled a water tank with gas, and put water in a diesel tank while trying to hook up the pump out nozzle to the deck plate. They later figured out the guy couldn't read or write. So, now we all do it ourselves. Bob, the night guy is the only one I'd trust and he is a good guy to have around.

I'm embarassed to hear you saw the helm wiring. Its one thing I still need to work on although its better than it was. The PO seemed content with just running wires and cables and not combing or bundling anything. No drip loops, stress reliefs or labels. It's still on my 'it bugs me' list of things to take care of.

Bob's the guy who sent us to the Boatyard and Little Black Dress Night but neglected to tell us ladies drink free. so, he's on a different list of mine.
