There are some people that don't show up for launch and they just get shuffled out of the way. They will not launch any boat that does not have the owner or the owner's representative present. The mooring fee includes the cost of launch and haulout. If you don't pay your fees you don't go in the water. It amazes me that there are boats that get launched but never even get their mast up. There was one boat last year that just kept getting lower and lower in the water. Someone eventually pumped it out so it didn't end up sinking but it just sat there with it's mast down looking very sad. Then there are those like the one below that just sit on the hard and never make it into the water. This one was eventually chopped up and sent to the dumpster.
