2013 Slip Renewals and Slip Availability
Spring is just around the corner and its time for slip renewals to start for Oyster Harbor slip holders.
Contracts go out via email about March 1st. If you plan to renew please send an email or mail in (via USPS) the completed slip lease & check for 2013 as soon as possible. This way we can know what is available for those desiring slips.
 |
| FYI: Although we email contracts, OHCA requires checks and signed leases to be returned by mail. |
Based on previous years, we expect to have 3 or 4 boat slips, and 7 or 8 floating dock spaces to come available for new leases as of May 1.
If you are looking for a slip, we should have a good idea by April 1st who is not renewing and what slips are available.
Slip leases run from May 1st to April 30th each year. Slips are on a first come, first serve basis in the following order:
- Currently leasing a slip, fully paid and in no violation of Rules
- Slip holder who must be moved due to construction or changes in designated slip use
- Slip holders who are over- or under-slipped, i.e., the slip size is too large or is inadequate for the boat
- Slip holders desiring relocation
- Waiting list - in order received from completed slip request forms
- Those with a slip that has not been fully paid
- Those who have yet to fill out a slip request form
Oyster Harbor currently has the following total slip/storage capacity:
Fishing Creek Pier
16 Boat slips
4 Floating dock spaces
27 Dinghy rack spaces
Booker Pier
14 Boat Slips
7 Floating dock spaces
9 Dinghy rack spaces
Washington Ave Pier
3 Boat slips
1 Boat launch ramp

If you don't already have a slip and desire one, be sure to fill our a slip request form. If you are not planning on renewing for 2013, please let us know as soon as possible.
2013 Piers Projects
The following projects are planned for the spring to make the piers more useful to residents and slip holders.
- New security gate on Fishing Creek (by professional contractor)
- Rock and stump clean-up on Fishing Creek
- Water edge clean-up on Washington
- New (non-squeaky) dink launch ramp on Booker
- Crab pot and empty oyster cage clean up on all piers
If anyone wishes to volunteer for any of these projects, please let me know. We will also publish the date of these, once known, on the OCHA Facebook page.
We wish everyone a safe and happy boating season.

Piers and Harbors Chair
