<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Slight correction here, the PYC and Pepperrell Cove moorings did get a quick cleaning before they went in. 3 of us removed the dead stuff from them at docks in, did inspections on the tackle and then sent our notes to Geoff and Dick. The tackle was serviceable and we weren't concerned about anyone using them though some were showing signs of typical wear and probably getting close to the time that they should be replaced. Meaning the shackles, which are pretty hefty, had worn away a third or so of their original thickness. So there was still a lot of "meat" left to them but it might be time to think about replacing them. I can find that email tonight if you want.<div><br></div><div>The IOS moorings didn't get inspected by us this year. I was out at Star Island on May 4th to do some work on the island and was going to take a look at the moorings and shackles but the moorings were already in the water and not on shore.</div><div><br></div><div>We do pay PMC a fair amount of money but if our contract says they have until the end of June to perform the maintenance there maybe little we can do about that this year. Dick has asked them when PYC will be scheduled in and we can let the BOD know what they say. I'm not too concerned about the condition of the moorings based on what I saw at docks in.</div><div><br></div><div>Roy<br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: nancgulley@gmail.com<br>To: board@portsmouthyc.org<br>Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 12:19:07 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [Board] Fwd: Shoals Moorings<br><br><style><!--

If we are renting our moorings, or have our members using our moorings they should all be in good working order now. I know that the moorings were put in dirty never cleaned last fall, and not cleaned this spring. Not inflated properly nor marked properly and now really seem to be covered with kelp. We pay Pepperrell Mooring a lot of money to not get completed until basically the end of the 2<sup>nd</sup> month of actual sailing season. Regarding the pennants, are we replacing them or is Pepperrell Mooring? Do you all know we have a contract with a company near Home Depot ( I have to find out the actual name) but they offer us a good discount on supplies because we pay by check.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">On the new dingy dock have we ever considered Pickering as a possible quote?

We have a plan for what has to be done and an agreement with them to do the work. They have 1000 moorings to maintain. I am sure we can be comfortable that the moorings are functionally in good shape even if they need some cosmetic work to make them look better. All of the pennants are scheduled to be replaced this year. Geoff was very responsive when I forwarded Russ's email and responded almost immediately today. This is very early in the season.
