I asked two people in Grenada that should know about the dock. The lady at the corps of engineers office said it would be fixed in the next budget cycle. Another person with connections to the guide services in Grenada told me that the dock would be bigger than ever. It is supposed to have 70 floating boat slips that boats can be stored over night. It is supposed to have a gas pump on the dock. If half of this happens it will be great.:cheers2
Have my doubts about the boat slip unless they are going to lease it out.
I would figure the dock will have to wait till next winter anyway, water is already up and may not get back down enough to work on it.
Love to see another marina like they have at Sardis, it could be on the other side of the islands.
Anything they add will be good.
Be careful what you wish for.
Like Rees said, repairs will be made once the water levels are low enough and there is funding available (which may not be until FY20). There are no plans any time on the future to have a marina or overnight slips.
There was a floating Marina at Cole Creek ramp on Sardis with gas about 30+ years ago.....Any of ya'll remember it? Don't think it lasted long.
I remember buying boat gas at a dock on the north side of the lake back in the 60s seems like it was at or near Teckville
May have been "G", but the I'm referring to was at Cole Creek. I launched there. They had car tires linked together for wave-breakers. It would have been in the late 70's or early 80's.
I meant Cole's Point....don't where the Creek came from!Quote:

Wasn't there a dock and slips at Hugh White back in the 50s and 60s, or am I mistaken?
Yes your are correct, they were actually two marinas in operation during the 50's. Although the one at Hugh White was well before my time I remember the one at Grenada Landing from when I was a kid in the 80's. After a couple of floods the investors decided to pull out and I remember it becoming a beer joint / pool hall then closed awhile then a store opened there before the building was torn down. Not sure when the wooden docks where removed from Hugh White but it's been a long time ago. The old hotel by the beach was around when I was a teenager, although closed by then we used to sneak in there and mess around, never vandalized and kept it clean (good upbringing). I think Grenada could support a marina like Sardis has now easily, and if another hotel was built it could be booked most the year.Quote:
