.... [re; the Stamford] CT waterfront. Any idea what is
happening with Yacht Haven West after Brewers pulls out?

The area's new owner/developer and the City of Stamford government are
being tight lipped about future plans for the now shut down Yacht
Haven site.

Before the formal end of operations notices as of Oct. 31, 2011 to its
subtenants and customers fm. Brewer's there were some rumblings by
some Yacht Haven customers that they were thinking of suing, if only
perversely to make forced compliance with long delayed environmental
remediation expensive, or at least actual [en]forced, but this seems a
largely now moot incidental aside since Yacht Haven no longer is
operating, its tenants are gone [the leading ones quickly made deals
mostly with and are not at Norwalk's Cove Marina], and Brewer has
moved most of its hardware [except, apparently, for the big travel
lift] to its other locations.

Those of the former Yacht Haven customers who have not chosen or been
able to find a dock or mooring in Stamford, for instance at some
locations with the kind of condo docks referred to earlier, apparently
have moved to other Brewer yards and also, for example, to LI marinas
or to marinas in nearby Mamaroneck, NY, which appear to have many more
boats in winter storage on their properties than in the recent past
[and I'm told that, whereas they have lost some especially mid-size
and smaller boat size customers in recent years, they expect to be
fully booked for slip space next season].

For transient cruisers apparently like you, fuel and maintenance and
repair service is of course still available at a number of more or
less nearby locations including in Mamaroneck, NY, in some of New
Rochelle, NY, locations, in Oyster Bay and in Glen Cove, LI, and of
course at the giant Brewer's Capri and smaller Brewer's and another
marina or two in Port Washington, NY [where one also can still Follow
The Buoys To Louie's to drown one's sorrows or at least to watch the
sunset at happy hour while staying for a night or two on one of the
non-fee Manhassett Town moorings if one is open].
