June – aside from the nasty rains, fishing has been great, slips were being rented out, the ramps were worked on, summer rentals for July were coming in and accepted, pumpout boat was busy, parking lot has been full and 3 young adults from Parks and Recreation were hired to pick up trash and other odd jobs.
DCR/Environmental Police have been showing up off and on, checking out the boats as they go out and especially when they return. If you’re out fishing, they want to see what you caught. If you’re just out for the day, make sure you have an appropriate amount of lifejackets for everybody on board, etc. For a refresher in boat safety, go to: www.thenauticallifestyle.com/TransientTalk there’s six weeks worth of boat safety class notes there.
