03.01.2022 Having been in this vicinity in the last few days, I can appreciate the need to relocate markers!

03.01.2022 Now would be a good time to ensure your vessels safety. You should have your mooring inspected annually to ensure your vessel won’t break free. Vessels at anchor are more susceptible to break free in strong winds. You should have someone keep an eye on your vessel if you aren’t nearby.
