RE: EMERGENCY DREDGING OF HARBOR IN WHITING PARK
To my knowledge, there will be an emergency dredging of our harbor.
There was an independent company that evaluated and did a sounding of
the harbor. I don't have any dates or details as to when this dredging may
occur, but hopefully it will open the harbor up to allow launching.
In the interim, I met with the Harbor Master at the Hammond Marina, and
he is giving the WRBC permission to launch from the Hammond Marina.
He has a current WRBC membership list and has required that any member
from the boat club show their membership card for 2025 to gain free access
to launch.
Thank you for your cooperation, and again, a reminder do not get into an
argument if you are turned away at the entrance gates. Simply pay or leave,
and contact me at 219-937-2211, and we will resolve the issue.
