My wife was positively estatic about putting the boat in a marina. In fact she seems almost more excited than me! Me? I always have trepidation when doing something I have never done before; especially leaving my boat away from me. Feels just like when my son left for college and then left for the Army. And of course I have questions for the Astute Classic Parker Assemblage. :wink:
I was able to get a slip at Breezy Point Marina. Great access to the middle grounds and a great deal to boot. Tomorrow I am going to pick between one of three slips.
What do I need to know about keeping a wet slip? I have bottom paint but it needs touched up in a few places.
Do you keep your rods/reels on board?
Do you keep your batteries on or off?
Do you put an extra lock on the door?
Do you ever crash on-board in order to get a 0-dark-thirty start?
Any thing else to know that I might not have thought of?
How do you know how much tide to allocate for when setting your lines? Is there a secret to this? I can't seem to find much info available. I'll see if my Chapman's has anything when I get home.
What kind of stuff do you wash her down with that is eco-friendly?
Thanks in advance for the help!
