is the cheapest gas in town, currently $3.24 per gallon. Dockmaster said it will be that way until they reorder.
I mentioned noticing a lot of vacant slips and he said the vacancies were at an all time high in all categories...covered wet, open wet, and dry stalls. Many that left said they could no longer afford boating.
I remember just 2 years ago we had a waiting list for the wet slips. Its sad that its gotten out of reach for many that enjoy boating.
 
The boating industry is going to take a BIG HIT this year, between fuel prices and unemployment, you'll see plenty of empty slips, boats for sale, and businesses going under...
 
We're seeing ads and some direct mail offering slips at reduced prices here in Connecticut and in some cases, these are from marinas that always have had a waiting list. We're also seeing more and more boats not being launched, instead left on jack stands for the summer.
 
Really wish i was in a better position to buy, unreal deals out there right now.
Just not at that stage in life with two very small kids
 
Same in Lake Charles. Gas is not on consignment, it is bought, sold at one price until it runs out.
BYC is a nice place. We are thinking about heading that way for Memorial Day.
