July Newsletter

In this Newsletter :

  • Does size really matter? Benicia Marina revamps the docks!
  • Someone in the marina is giving out complimentary paint jobs for their neighbors!
  • Annual game of musical boats gets a green light!

C-Dock Conversion:

A major phase of the C-dock conversion is about to take place. One entire dock finger is about to be moved to its new location for re-installation. Following this task will be electrical, water and other dock hookups. Several new 55 foot berths are expected upon completion of this project. Please be cautious of the ongoing construction in the area.

Sanding / Painting Inside The Marina

Please remember to review the Benicia Marina "Rules and Regs" that all boat owners have signed and dated. Sanding and painting boats inside the marina is strictly forbidden due to the massive amount of damage it can cause other boats and also to the marine environment. Dumping paint, sawdust and other chemicals into the marina basin is a serious violation of the law, and fines are very heft for this kind of crime. Our correspondence on this issue has been disregarded, and there has been repeated non-compliance with this rule. Please be mindful of the people around us and the environment in which we live.

Annual Dredging

Ye be warned! Permits are finally falling into place and Salt River Construction is warming up the tugs. A large dredging project is in the works for this year. Dredging of the main entrance and the sandbar is scheduled to begin first, and the marina's main fairway and the B-Dock area are planned to commence after that. If the project goes according to plan, a large section of E-Dock will hopefully be dredged as well. This will be a massive project because the dredging of the dock areas will include dredging the inside of the boat slips which will call for a lot of boats to be temporarily relocated. Please consider this newsletter a forewarning of the dredging ahead. Boats will have to be moved, but the marina office will call each boat owner in advance . A chart with the exact dredging plan can also be found in the marina office.
