Fall 2014 Piers Update

This has been a great summer of wonderful weather for Oyster Harbor boaters.  The cool temperatures, low rainfall and minimal storms made for many fun days on the Bay and our Creeks.

We saw a lot of people tubing, skiing, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. They all seemed to be having lots of fun.

All the slips were rented again this year, and we have over 14 boats on the wait-list for slips.  We do still have space available on the floating docks for small dinks and kayaks. These spaces are good for kids or elderly folks who find it harder to get a small boat back and forth to the water.

We continued to do maintenance on our piers and hope to keep them in good shape for many years to come.  Here is a list of Piers projects we completed this summer:

• Moved floating dock to Fishing Creek from Booker, as more people wanted spaces there
• Added a fish cleaning station to Fishing Creek pier
• Cleaned up Phragmites around the docks
• Added an additional kayak rack at Fishing Creek
• Added a kayak rack at the Beach
• Added a kayak rack at the Washington Boat ramp
• Repaired the posts in the Fishing Creek lot (underway)

We are still working out what is needed for a dog wash at Fishing Creek, are looking at some additional transient dock space for people who wish to tie up their boats for a night or two.

If you have ideas for other projects, please fill out the suggestion form on our website.

We wish everyone a happy Autumn and hope the great weather continues as long as possible.
