The VHF is a very handy device for communicating with a marina to find out the availability of water, fuel, slip space, etc.
First, I love Leverick Bay and Nick & guys hospitality!
But they are often busy, and don't/can't respond to a hail on the VHF. My experience is they don't open till 0800.
That results in a lot of jostling for a spot on the Tee dock. A couple of years ago we were on a ball, and ready to get off the ball, fetch some water and ice and be on our way. No response to VHF. And two boats just sitting waiting till opening crew arrived.Then a variation of musical chairs played by boats in front of the dock. Downright silly actually.
The management side of me wanted to get on the VHF and organize a waiting list order..reservation for 1, 2, 3. My crew took the mic from me!
Last trip we took a slip. Nick came by to say hi, as I missed him the day before. Remember I said how much we like LB and Nick!?
