WRBC MEMBERS:
I have received confirmation from Milan at the Hammond Marina that the Whiting Robertsdale Boat Club (WRBC) Members will be allowed to launch at the Hammond Marina Facility during the dredging operations that is going on at our launch. Milan has asked that no one launch prior to Sunday, April 29th. The Marina has to put all of the boats currently on stands in their lot into the Marina on Friday, April 27 and Saturday, April 28. So there will be no public launching allowed.
Again, I want to stress, do not launch prior to Sunday, April 29.
He has opened up his Marina for our entire membership. This includes Members who are from out of town and out of state. You must have your Membership Card available in order to enter at the entrance gate. The guard at the entrance gate will have a WRBC Membership List that they will compare to your card. Please if for some reason you are not on the list or there is an issue, do not argue with the entrance guard, but pay the fee, save the receipt, and the Boat Club will reimburse you. I don't foresee any problems occurring during this period. We are truly in debt to Milan as he has helped us every time we have asked, so please be courteous to his staff so we may continue this great relationship.
RE: COAST GUARD AUXILIARY FREE BOAT INSPECTIONS MAY 5, 2018 - 10AM til 2PM
Just as a reminder, the Coast Guard Auxiliary will be conducting vessel safety inspections free of charge for anyone who wants their
boats inspected. This is not just for safety but you will also receive
a sticker for your boat window that will prevent future inspections during
this year on the lake. Please lets try to have a good turnout as these
Coast Guard personnel do this on a voluntary basis and we want
them to continue to work with us in the future. The inspections will
be held either at our parking area by the launch or down by the parking area next to the lifeguard and storage building depending on the dredging.
The inspections will be on Saturday, May 5, 2018 starting at 10AM and continue til 2PM.
Hope to see you all there.
Thank you,
Mike Hill
WRBC Commodore
