"Facility " means making things easy... I thought
Yesterday I dove into Browns Bay Marina to check out the launch after a 25 year absence. I swore not to return there after cursing over a 1/2 hour wait circling in the wind waiting for a fellow getting his vehicle while his boat was banging on the cement blocks. The poor fellow found out that his trailer was stolen in the parking lot. . I see that after 25 years , and all those launching fees, nothing has changed.
I am a pensioner now and find it very disturbing that I would still have to swim to my old 22 ft boat to launch there. Compare the Marina in Alberni where 4 boats can launch at one time with docking loading offloading slips with similar launch charges . It appears that all the funds have gone into someone's pocket, with no concern for the boating public. I hope someone can prove me wrong here. Probably a better launch means more boat trailers and nowhere to park them. Regardless
I say it's time to make some waves. Put some pressure on the owners to make the necessary improvements to an antiquated launch facility. I will now search for their E-mail Address and pass on this Post.
