For openers, he is going to rebuild, level and straighten both catwalks at the ramp, including brightly colored posts to signal where the ramp ends. All too many folks have learned that lesson the hard way over the years. He said he already has the materials on hand.
In process at the moment is a soft-launch area for kayaks, canoes and such to the right of the ramp, as you face it. He told me he's going to pipe water to this area, so that folks can wash down their craft, if they so choose, before loading it on top of their vehicle.
Another project already underway is a play set for the kiddies. A fair portion of it already is standing, but Steve said more is yet to be added before he considers the project complete.
Anyone who has visited West Neck Marina in recent weeks undoubtedly also has noticed all the trees and brush Steve has been clearing out to the right, as you turn into the driveway. Besides the play set residing in this area, patrons also eventually will find a barbecue wagon parked in there. Along with the barbecue wagon will be some picnic tables, so folks can sit down and really enjoy themselves. At the same time, it likely will seem just like a day at the beach, because Steve plans to dump sand throughout this whole area.
Let me guess: You're probably asking, "When will these projects be complete?" Steve said he hopes to have most, if not all, of the things in place by the start of next spring. My advice is: Stay tuned to this blog, 'cause I'll post photos as everything begins to take shape.
