Dock Captains/Port Quarterly Mtg. Notes
This past Wednesday was our quarterly Dock Captain meeting with the Port where we have an opportunity to hear the latest updates from the Port regarding security, construction, proposed changes, and any other issues concerning Shilshole Marina.
Have you had a Vessel Safety Check?
It will…
- Give you peace of mind, knowing you have working equipment.
- Help you avoid substantial safety standard equipment-related fines if you are boarded by law enforcement.
- Potentially lower your vessel insurance rates. Check with your agent.
The US Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free boat inspections. Spring is a good time to review the checklist and then schedule an inspection, before they get busy…. and it may help make any Coast Guard boarding this summer go smoother!

SWAP MEET this weekend!
FISHERIES SUPPLY SWAP MEET
April 9, 2022
A maritime flea market, full of boating goods, old parts, and new parts, outboards, buoys, dock line, coolers, heaters, chain, clothing, and so much more. Die-hard bargain boaters have been known to arrive the night before to stake out a good parking spot, although sellers are not allowed to use the lower tier of the upper parking lot (closest to the store entrance).

Emergency Preparedness at Shilshole
Shilshole Prepares, the emergency preparedness arm of your Shilshole Liveaboard Assoc., has just updated their Earthquake Readiness Guide for boaters. Please take a moment to read through it and think about what you and your family would do when a disaster strikes our marina…
You can always find it, and other resources, under the Shilshole Prepares tab on the front page of this site.

Are You Prepared?
Here’s another example of how we, as boaters, should be prepared for the unexpected. Last weekend, there was a fire with extensive damage to the south end electrical vault. This shut down power to A-E docks. The Port was quick to react to get generators to the marina as backup and notify those of us affected (thank you Darrel).
What is your plan? A power outage, a landslide blocking entrances, an oil spill from the train, a tsunami…all are unexpected, and all will affect your boat-whether you are liveaboard or not. Take a few moments to think about how this would affect you and your family and please review some resources that we have at Shilshole Prepares.
