Let’s Keep Things Positive

Just wanted to keep everyone updated. It has been three weeks since the docks broke loose. I appreciate the big turn out Saturday. I think the band, fireworks, food and activity at the club was perfect timing.  I know the place does not look the best at the moment. I do however think we need to remain positive. We have many things that are going in our favor.

  •  No one was hurt
  •  We are insured
  •  We have  many qualified  people working to obtain the best replacement docks

The docks will be rebuilt, similar to wrecking a car. You obtain estimates, hammer it out with the insurance company. REBUILD, and that exactly what we plan to do.  

Dock plans have been submitted to 4 dock companies. We should have pricing within a couple of weeks. Let’s do not borrow trouble, we need to be patient. Let it play out a little….

Here is how we stand as of today.

  1. Dock committee has four proposals being submitted. We are hoping to have them all between the middle of the month or the week after. This will dictate the direction we will head. At that time we will continue our talks with the insurance company. We are at the hurry up and wait stage.
  2. The dock moorings  are doing well under normal conditions. We did have a issue the other night when the winds jumped up to over 45 mph….
  3. We do have work ahead as we try to stay in front of the receding water levels. 

 Thanks for everyone’s hard work…

I just wanted to update all members  on a few issues.

We have had mtgs with our insurance company. The good news is that we are covered for our damage. It does look like we will reach the maximum on our policy.We are very hopeful that  prices to replace the docks are within that range.Mtg have begun with several dock building companies.  We are hoping to have proposals  no later than 7-31. I think we can have them sooner than the end of July.,but that is worse case… Tim Johnson, still needs help whenever you can. The boats are secure and clean up continues, so we need some help. Lisa Wilder is helping out by keeping up with where boats have been moved. I appreciate all her hard work.

The amount of people that have turned out to help around the club has been outstanding…  Come on out ..  Things will be getting back to normal soon…

To the DCYC Membership:

As you know, our club now faces a difficult recovery, but a manageable recovery. You should be aware that your leadership team and several dedicated members are doing everything possible to address the harbor issues we now face. Here’s where we currently stand:

1.         Our insurance adjuster is flying in from California this weekend to assess the damages.

2.         With the help of Randall Massey and Chance Beck, we have hired a dive team to reinforce our break water. 

3.         With Tim Johnson’s direction and with help from numerous members, work is underway to reinforce Docks 3 and 4.

4.         Dagny Boaz and Lisa Wilder are reaching out to dock owners on Docks 1, 2 and 3 to offer options on dealing with the misplaced boats. 

5.         Keep in mind the Board and many other members are meeting daily to actively address issues as they arise.

6.         We have started investigating companies to rebuild the docks.

Most importantly, we need to work together and weather the storm.The process is going to be long, but the wheels are turning on all fronts.

Thank you for your patience. Commodore Leland Morris & the Board of Governors
