The Marina is Open!

Yesterday was the grand re-opening of the new and improved Richardson Park Marina.  $1M bond measure, to be retired out of the slip fees, paid for beautiful new docks.  They're galvanized steel with Trex boards and they look terrific.  No splinters and they're also much more stable than the old ones.
The county even asked me to take the pictures and document the event!


We made a point of getting to the lake early so we could sneak over from Orchard Point and get a spot on the transient dock.  No problem, we were the first ones there!



Dean's Stairway was looking good.


There were speeches and a ribbon cutting ceremony




Then Dean docked Stairway as the inaugural boat.


Next they fired off the cannon to announce that the marina was open!


We had a little boat parade



Then we docked the boats!



And then there was picnic served from a garbage truck!


The new slips are great!
