MARINA UPDATE HELP NEEDED
12-21
Merry Christmas to all!
I wanted to provide an update about the ice eaters.
The ice eaters were installed in early November but they have not been needed yet so they haven’t been turned on. Weather suggests that they won’t be needed at least through Christmas.
We have been waiting on parts to install additional ice- eaters and they finally came in this past week.
Since have not been used yet, some of the ice eaters are not positioned to work properly due to tides and winds. They have to be re- adjusted periodically, which is labor intensive.
Our harbormaster has asked for volunteers this fall to help with this and the responses he has received have been minimal. He can show you what to do if see an ice-eater not working properly. He needs volunteers to help with specific times when he is working on them as well specific times when he is not around.
Please reach out to Ed Groce to see how and when you can help. We can save money by preventing catwalks and pilings from being damaged by ice.
If we do get damage due to this, it will not be the harbormaster’s fault as he can only do so much. It will be the membership’s fault for not getting enough volunteers.

Please be sure to notify club secretary, Dawn Fluman, of any address, phone number or email address changes ASAP in order to help with club communication to all of our members. We are trying to notify members via email of all communications to help reduce costs like paper, ink, envelopes and postage.
We will continue to send communication via USPS to those preferring that method. But either way, we need current updated information on all our members so be sure to notify Dawn of any changes via email
cmboatclub.secretary@gmail.com or 494 Blackbird Landing Road, Townsend, DE 19734.
Thank You.

RENTAL POLICY
This is now the policy set forth by Membership for slip rentals for all members and associates.
1. You may have a total of 3 rental opportunities for the boating season.
2. If you have a rental during a regular weekend or during the week it can be up to two nights only. You must take your boat out following the rental agreement and slips will be checked for compliance. If your boat is not removed after your rental agreement has expired all future rental opportunities will be forfeited.
3. If you have a rental on a holiday weekend it can be up to 3 nights and again your boat must be removed following the expiration of your rental agreement.
4. There is a charge of $25 per night and this must be prepaid to Membership before you will be given a slip number. There are no refunds if you do not use the slip.
5. After your request Membership will contact you if a slip is available. If Membership tells you no slips are available that is final. There are less slips available this year than last year for rental as more members have chosen to use their slips. If you do not accept the Membership chairman's decision then you will forfeit all rental opportunities for the rest of the 2024 boating season.
