This past Wednesday was our quarterly Dock Captain meeting with the Port where we have an opportunity to hear the latest updates from the Port regarding security, construction, proposed changes, and any other issues concerning Shilshole Marina.

Here’s another example of how we, as boaters, should be prepared for the unexpected.  Last weekend, there was a fire with extensive damage to the south end electrical vault.  This shut down power to A-E docks.  The Port was quick to react to get generators to the marina as backup and notify those of us affected (thank you Darrel).

What is your plan?  A power outage, a landslide blocking entrances, an oil spill from the train, a tsunami…all are unexpected, and all will affect your boat-whether you are liveaboard or not.  Take a few moments to think about how this would affect you and your family and please review some resources that we have at Shilshole Prepares.

Shilshole Marina has had a handbook for it’s tenants for over 20 years and it was supposed to be handed out to every new tenant by the office.  Unfortunately, that was hit or miss, according to our neighbors.  Last year, they put it online and it now incorporates all marina policies-parking, waste disposal, Required Best Management Practices, and subleasing.  Please take the time to read it and be familiar the marina procedures-it may answer many of your questions.  It can always be found under the “More Info” tab above.
