out to lunch
 

Took wife out for lunch today at the edge. Wind was blowing a good 25 out of the north across the channel.

I hear you on the 25 MPH out of the north Ron....

Driving down A1A through Flagler Beach, FL. yesterday and yes it was brisk !

The ditch (Intracoastal Waterway) would have been the channel of choice
for sure..:)

Can't wait, I really have a good feeling about this new location for our gatherings on the East side...

Time to sign up and join the fun before it is to late !:cool:

Well, I got this e-mail this morning;

Marina Construction Update

Dear Cam Benedict:

The construction of our new Marina has not moved along as we originally planned. It was our plan to complete one dock and open it before any other docks were demolished. We were recently informed that we are not going to be allowed to open any of our new docks until the last dock has been completed.

They are going to start demolishing our last remaining dock on February 13, 2018. We will not have any boat slips available or facilities for fishing until completion of the project.



Dockside Inn & Resort

Got the same email........

Uhh o , now what? When I was there, I asked about the new marina, if it was going to be done by May. I got a hope so, but I figured that the other dock would be there.

Is the Sebastian location from 2 years back available again? That was a cool venue with ample parking to your room, and safe place to secure trailer. I liked it anyway.

Part II

Wish it was now. When I checked months ago, they told me that they were only going to have rooms on a weekly basis. I could ask again or look at this other place up the road. Problem is, a lot of us made reservations. This all might just work out and the docks will be done by May, but I don't think I'm into leaving my boat on the trailer parked across the street.

We may need to re-think this dock issue...
Natural High (Eric) called Saturday and they informed him of the issue.

I have not heard from Dock Side which kind of ticks me off !

There are several places in Stuart that are "Cracker" style which would
work... Have to get Capt. Chuck on recon..

It is always something ! :mad:

Sorry did not see the post string from Old'sCool down. I just got the call this morning from Dockside, no email. Anyway, see below.


Alright.......here we go......

Some very bad news, the Dockside is in the process of putting in new docks, marina, fuel docks, etc., now the bad part, they were informed Friday by the contractor the docks will NOT be ready by May. I asked if there was any options such as leaving our boats on trailers in their lot, and she told me there is only room for five or six which is not good enough for us. I also asked if there might be another location she could recommend, no luck.

Anyway suggestions are needed on how to proceed. I guess we can try to reschedule or cancel. I told her I would get back to her this week.


Follow up....I called back and the best they can do to block off rooms and reschedule us would be after the summer, September at the earliest.

September at the earliest? No ambiguity there. (sent pm btw)
