Sooke Public Boat Launch

Sooke resident or taxpayer, basically. I'm not sure what they are doing about businesses. If we have a business class sponsor, the employees of the business should be able to get the local rate regardless of where they live.

Oh yeah, I cant say the word "sponsor." Donor.

They passed the bylaw last night with no changes. I told them it had to be split out, but you pay for parking whether or not there is any. Passes available at city hall. It's not clear what they mean with "non-commercial only."

Evidently "non-commercial only" means you can't run a business from the boat launch, it doesn't mean you can't launch a commercial boat.

Like how he has a sign on the door so everyone knows what a dumb butt he is. It's not like he couldn't fit in that spot. Some people I just don't get.

To be fair to the individual I removed the original post. Judging by the way the vehicle was blocked today, it was a standard and had rolled back. Some of the parking is on a fairly steep slope, so make sure your parking brake holds, and set it!

Kudos to the fact there was a payment receipt on the windshield today!

If that was truly the case I too apologize.
 
Terrance where are we the cleaning table we are blocked from Jock's and still having to clean fish below? If you can't get approved can you talk to R.Roe and ask if him he still has that cleaning table available at least temporary? I generally am taking them home doing it there as is a pain in the butt.

And is there security video on the ramp I though prestige had one. I was one of the boat trailers that was vandalized few days ago on Friday trailer parked 10-3. Stole rollers off front mid morning...Was no accident they were bent and pried off. Never had someone do that.. I looked closely to determine of they had simply broke off..Not the case.

I wasn't the only one.

So yesterday came down and the ramp stalls nearly 70% of them had people parked from hotel into them. Many had to park on street/trailers. This is entire shift at the ramp is disappointing... Should have been left free if this will be the case.... All we have is a washroom still no cleaning table, and zero parking enforcement. I am sending a letter to the city I encourage many of you who are fed up to do the same.
 
The more things change the more they stay the same The only thing they did was to enforce paying not parking to put money in their jeans At least the Smiths didn't hassle anybody and they did donate most of the money
 
As usual Hotel cars parked in 45ft spots this weekend so asked the attendant "again" how the enforcement was coming along and she told me that they just received a letter stating that the hotel has rights to let people park there.
Past responses (I ask every time) have been that they are working on it.

Your tax dollars at work?
Sounds like not very clear or well done deal when this was built.
Prestige Hotel win!

Also had to point out to someone a couple of weeks ago that "no, you can not stand in a parking spot and hold it for your buddy while he is 4 boats behind me in line waiting to launch. Doesn't work that way. Early bird gets the spot"

Nice to have an out house now and the attendants are chatty and nice.

I love this thread. It makes me so grateful for Fleming beach launch and Esquimalt Anglers assoc.
 
This ramp is a joke. Jocks dock will be getting my moorage next year so I don't have to spend a dime more at this place. Can't believe a launch is $10. With parking, and cleaning fish in the dirt beside the ramp I'll be going elsewhere.
 
Dont have time to read this whole thread but I launch there regularly and every single f in time I have to park on the road!! The whole thing was poorly designed . Spots are too short for us with bigger boats and most the time they are taken up buy hotel guests. Every time I see a post on this I comment. Its the hugest scam going launch got built with tax dollars. Big deal you put a out house in thats peanuts. Also I see there is a pump out and honestly who uses that? Paying ten dollars or buying a yearly pass is nothing. But when you get charged for a no parking single dock launch its a joke.
