So I like to do the lunch thing when launching from Vanier to pick up the prawn traps.
We usually go to Horseshoe Bay to tie up while we have lunch, then pick the traps up on the way back. On 2 occasions we decided to go to Snug Cove (it's a bit closer) and tie up, but with both times costing $10 for less than an hour of time, I think we won't be doing that very often (if ever again).
I understand there are costs associated with running a marina, but after having been to countless marina's for lunch, it's rare to be charged for a quick stopover. What's the deal? Doesn't this just deter other boaters from frequenting the restaurants/shops on Bowen?
Thoughts?
