I know Browns Pt has slips and rack available. They're getting along pretty well there.

Update on Leonardo.... About 45 of us in the marina where sent notes letting us know we will be unable to get into our slips on April 1. Our slips are in the construction area where the old fixed dock is being taken out and 2 new floating docks are being put in. They antispate having that work done July by 1st.

People were given the option to get a pro rated refund from 4/1 to 7/1 or for the entire season if they choose not to go in at all. There are a limited number of temporary slips available to those who have been displaced but there are apparently not enough slips for everyone. There also might be an option for those slipsholders who have trailers to store their boats at the marina since the launch ramp is now open.

We should know sometime next week if we are assigned a temporary slip. If not, I just might try and find a temporary slip somewhere else. Very disapointing but on the other hand, a minor inconvience in comparison to what others are going through as a result of all the damage this storm did.

Going to be a very interesting boating season for sure.

I'm putting my boat at sea venture marina in highlands , not sure if he has any more slips , but I think captains cove in highlands may. Ask for Fred , it's a bare bones marina that a lot of clammers use.

Update on Leonardo State Marina.... Passed through there today (4/11) and a lot of progress has been made. The old fixed peer has been removed and they started sinking the new pilings for the 2 new floating docks.

Saw some guys working on the electric too but not sure where we are at with water.

Launch ramp open but not sure if the floating dock next to it is in or not.

We were fortuneate enough to be assigned a temporary bulkhead slip unitl the floating docks are completed.

Hope to be in the water and fishing in a few weeks. Can't come soon enough.

Bottom paint, compound and wax and a new windlass and we should be good to go.
