I don't remember telling any they couldn't take the boat out. Other then on Saturday afternoon night because of the marina is full of people motorhomes and boats in the canal .. sorry for your issues with retrieving but can't with the amount of stuff and limited space we can't have the extra mess of getting boats outs while it's still going on. As soon as the canals is clear on Sunday it's a line of boats taking out at the marina.

If it was the guy on the tractor that told you that. He quit about half way through the morning on Sunday and will not be back this year.

I hope you resolve that this year for sure, I was not the only frustrated boat owner, that was a real douche-bag move on your tractor operators part.

Won't take them out on Saturday afternoon at the marina. Sunday its wide open and as for the 2 that just quit and left with out saying a word they won't be back. They were paid very well on top of it.

damn casey I didn't know you had those issues last year. that sucks!!! anyone of us running a business knows how hard it is to find and keep good help...I know this only happens once a year but you'd think for the pay they'd take care of the people they are paid to take care of!

If you need shore power you can dock at Marina Del Rey in Madisonville they have slips with power and they are very reasonable. They have a launch ramp and trailer storage also. Been keeping my boat there for years and never had any issues at all.

Saturday afternoon is not the day to try and pull the boat out in the middle of the party. Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know why you would even want to attempt it in the middle of everything going on. I would use the ramp by the bridge if I wanted to leave.
