And municipal harbors will get heat from taxpayers to raise rates.

The big marina in Redbrook(can't remember the name now) was a ghost town. Paying 35 for a mooring there, I couldn't figure out how they make ends meet at all!

But like many they work on a year round basis. Some marinas locally made up for some with increased action early hauling(and some relaunching).

The marina above was poised to begin a huge hauling and storing project with stands lining all parking areas, vast areas.

Staffs are cut down to the bone and already begining winter work on early hauled boats. At local marinas here, all the summer staff is gone.

I think the worst hit marina businesses will be those that count more on the in season income as opposed to those that have an even annual cycle. That is until their herds of customers start thinning out and selling their boats.(another difficult prospect, we're all stuck)
