WINTER IS HERE (maybe)

As far as the calender is concerned winter has arrived. I�m certain eventually it will get

cold, and in preparation of this we have winterized the dockhouse showers and heads. The

clubhouse and showers will be open and heated for your enjoyment throughout the Winter

season. We will continue running water to the docks as long as possible.

DOCKLINES

With Fall and Winter approaching, now is a good time to check your docklines for stiffness and chafe. Replace them if you have any doubts. ALL BOATS SHOULD BE FACING DUE EAST THIS TIME OF YEAR in preparation for Nor�Easters. The docks run north and south.

ELECTRICAL HEATERS

Just an annual reminder that unattended electrical heaters are UNSAFE and NOT ALLOWED to be left on while the boat is unoccupied.

QUESTION OF THE QUARTER

What word describes a boat that is not heeling ??????

YACHT SALES

To all of you that have bought or sold boats this year, or given us leads or other assistance. THANK YOU very much for helping us to have a record year in yacht sales.Yacht sales activity has started to slow down for the holiday season, but that is probably a good thing. Bill and Joe really need a rest, we also have Jack Hannon covering NewBern and Jim Powell covering Carteret County this year, for a total of four agents covering the coast. Time is now being used to prepare for the Raleigh Boat Shows on the first and third weekends of February. If you are thinking of putting your vessel on the market in 2002, now is the time to act. That will allow us to effectively present it at the boat show and get it into national advertising by the time yacht sales takes off again in March.
