Bay Marinas 2011 Continued marina by boat as a weekender, you may need to use a courtesy car or bike or glean some knowledge about your ground and local water taxi transportation options. Professional marinas will anticipate your transportation needs and have the local knowledge to facilitate your getting around town—in fact, they should make it so easy for you that you can’t wait to come back!
Gas Dock
Of course, it depends on how far you’ve traveled and how much wind there has been as to whether or not you care that your marina has a fuel dock. Marinas with fuel docks advertise it, usually on their websites, so you can start there when seeking future fueling options.
Onsite Services and Stores
For weekend cruisers, knowing that there are marine technicians on hand to help with engine trouble, for example, and readily available parts or emergency supplies, such as oil, filters, hoses, or shackles, brings peace of mind.
Your marina is your home away from home, your safe harbor in a storm, and a great place to celebrate! Here’s how one Baltimore sailor prepares for the Fourth of July. Photo courtesy of Anchorage Marina
