  @Ian - WOW those boats are really packed in there!
  

  
  I'm impressed the ones that are turned sideways in the slips.  That took some effort!

  It looks like FLIBS.  Must be some pretty good steak and lobster going on there!

  @Ian , I see in the picture that some boats have their anchor out. I’ve seen that done with larger yachts, pretty cool. I guess that’s because there’s no pilings to tie the bow off to?

  Yeah, we pack ‘em in and actually had some spare room this year. Mine is the first on the north dock (the larger run) north of the T spun 90 degrees as that is my slip and it wasn’t bad, just had someone watch the platform as I held the bow - she just fit with a couple of fenders hanging from the dock for good measure. We moved member boats Thursday night then racked and stacked Friday, I worked the north dock all day back and forth covering over 8 miles for the day until the last docked around 9:45pm.

  Regards,

  Ian

  Med tie (or Mediterranean mooring). Used when more boat than dock space

  Couple of reasons - we’re tidal so dropping a few anchors helps arrest the inherent sideways swing 4 times a day and it takes some load off the white poles that hold the docks in place - remember we pull the docks end of season so they don’t end up near you in an ice floe. We are next to a shipping channel and besides the d*&%heads that don’t know no wake etiquette when passing marinas and docks, we get barges and ships that even if slow can bounce us around. When the tide is in the sea wall that you can’t see (but the end channel marker is there in the bottom right corner) is about 2 feet under the surface so we still get the wake.

  Regards,

  Ian

  More of a “pot of expenses” at the end of this rainbow but I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

  Great weather in Lake Michigan too!  I'm at Macatawa Yacht Club and last night we made friends with the Commodore.  Today he took us out to watch a GL52 sail race.  I know basically zero about sail racing, but those things are like Formula 1 race cars!  When they turn down-wind, the spinnaker sail goes from being gigantic and beautiful to totally gone in about five seconds.

  A quick video from yesterday's GL52 Macatawa race.  This was in light wind -- barely enough to conduct the race.  I'd love to see them run with real wind.

  Summer is still hanging in here. 75 this weekend and 80s tomorrow then fall will quickly approach Wednesday. We had 8 boats at our offshore dock for a big end of year impromptu gathering. 
  
   We also took out a friends boat they bought back last week from the friends they sold it to about 20 years ago. They bought in new in 84 and it was always kept indoors and is in very good condition. That's my wife wakeboarding 😁
  
  My cousin and her husband were visiting so they got a weekend of boating.

  This is probably the last day for us in warm weather 😕. 85 today and tomorrow is supposed to be 65 and rain. We'll still do some winter boating now that we have the heat and fully enclosed cabin. 
  
  
  We finally got our new Bimini made and Thursday she is coming to make templates for the sides. The work she did is really top notch and she puts a lot of care and thought into it.
