Jack, if you'd ever priced the cost of construction these days, you'd
know those grants aren't big. For starters, all the nonsense required by
the EPA is liekly to cost the marinas at least half the amounts they got.

Yes when I actually looked at the amounts I tend to agree. Plus the
places that I know personally seem very strangely chosen. Smells a
little bit like pork

Well Peggie I have stayed at the Charleston City Dock, on the Ashley River.
I do have to say that it was one of the best places I have stayed including
the west coast where we live. I don't know if they had matching funds or
just the grant. But for three years running it one of the best docks to
stay at. As far as I am concerned if they can spend hundreds of millions
of dollars to build a useless ball field. For over paid, under educated so
called athletes. They can build transient docks for the boating community.

Is $1.50 per foot the average price for transient berthing? Can you or
should you make reservations ahead of time?

Wow, I have to pay 25GBP per ft where I am :-s

Wow - that's a relief.

We pay less than $2000 per year for a 44 foot boat - actually it is
the charge per slip so it isn't really per foot. We'd pay the same
whether we had a 35 foot boat or a 50 foot boat. (Or course if we had
a 35 foot boat we'd fit in a smaller slip which would be less
expensive. Our slip is really too big for us, but we like it because
it has a full length dock on one side.)

That's roughly $45/ ft per year which is a little less than £27 so
that's not really out of line. If we had a bigger boat - say 50 feet-
which would fill out the slip better it would be $40 or £24.
