April 17 2010-Getting the Walkabout Ready

It's that time of the year again. Getting the Walkabout ready for another season of "FISHING". Step 1: Remove the protective winter cover from the boat.

Step 2: Put up the top and the side curtains.

Step 3: Get Joanne to clean the inside of the boat.

Step 4: Re-apply a new patch over the hole in the pontoon. The first patch has held since 2000.

Step 5: Clean up the outside of the boat and we are ready to launch. Hopefully, the Walkabout will be in the water by the first week in May. See you then!

April 13 2010-New Construction-Part 3

And here we have a few more pictures of all the new construction at Allport Marina. These pictures were taken on April 2 2010. To begin with, a new sign!

As you can see, the ice has just gone out a couple of days ago. This is the B Dock getting closer to completion.

F Dock now has a roof on and the lights and electrical outlets have been installed. Some of these boat slips will include boat lifts. ( Not yet installed )

Here I am standing on the new section of E Dock (our new summer home ) with the F Dock in the background.

This is a picture of our boat slip as seen from the D Dock. Isn't it beautiful?

April 9 2010-New Construction-Part 2

These pictures were taken on March 9 2010. As you can see, our boat slip is almost done.

F dock is progressing quite nicely.

B dock is also coming along.

Hope they're done in time for another summer of boating.

April 6 2010-New Construction-Part 1

Last summer (2009) Allport Marina was sold to new owners. This winter the new owners began a major overhaul. Two new covered boat slips (F) and (B) began construction on the ice. Our dock (E) was being extended to included 6 new slips. As a result we are moving from our old boat slip ( E33 ) out to our new boat slip ( E39 ).
