[C320-list] C320-list Digest, Vol 1652, Issue 1

[Andrew Santangelo]

Bob, et. al,

That is my impression also - harbors with State funded Marinas SHOULD get emergency funds for dredging.  Saugatuck is out of luck unless the community pays for the dredging itself.  Still it is very dicey.  I have a fin keel C320 also, and in my last year in Lake Mac (when it was near record lows) we bottomed out in the slip when it got a tad wavy in the marina.  I have to check if they have dredged there recently.

Muskegon and Ludington should also be fine. 

San Francisco harbor is a different deal with the tides - 6 foot swings.  The change is quite cool to see.

Still trying to figure out the move back to Holland for the C320…

Fair winds!
