Shilshole Dry moorage info

Hi all,  

I'm emailing to give a little update re. the dry moorage compound.  

1. The fencing has been complete for a few weeks now but still has not been re-striped due to the weather. The striper needs 3 good days of dry weather and so he can stripe on the 4th day.
2. There is now availability to accommodate larger and wider boats (power boats and Catalina's for example.)
3. The rates have not gone up since May 2003 and I've not heard anything about an increase so far.

Some skippers are concerned about the release of the updated BMP's and washing down their boats. You can still wash your boat but you are required to ONLY use as small amount of "boat soap" as possible. The recommended treatment for washing is: West Marines "Boat Soap" as it has no phosphates & is also biodegradable. The soap can be acquired at any West Marine store and is also available online for those that shop on the Internet. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001 <http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=72442> &langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=72442
