Dead Hammond Marina OOOPS!!!!!

Was down in Hammond a few days ago and noticed the marina has not changed since we pulled the boats out. They told us construction would start that Sunday and yet nothing has been done. So I heard from a little birdie that Hammond pulled the wrong permits and the state said sorry!!!!!! Ya sure the marina will be done in a year.

Why? I guess cause they stuck it in all of your azzes, (boat owners) that is, so now return the favor. Do you think they care what you guys are gonna do for the summer 07? Fk no they don't. Why should you guys cater to them whenever they decide to let you guys back in? I would'nt even buy gas there anymore. Fk em.

I agree with you Frank, dumb ass politian and others ruining it for the boaters, There is one problem not many marina allow lifts, Hammond is one of the only ones.

With that said I am going to check if they will allow lifts in Michigan City.
