money bags- The check will be in the mail as soon as I get one myself. Maybe next week. don't send any money. please. it will just go toward booze. ;-) You boaters need to start your own association that collects dues or something and maintain the marina yourselves. duh... we created a 501C3 about the same time scooter did. we've made every offer in the world to the tribe to maintain, buy, sublease, oversee, manage, or just advise. no dice. this is not a business issue we're dealing with, it's a karmic event that has to play out in its own time. the cochiti tribe hasn't the slightest interest in sailors, customers or business. but they like money... they've raised slip rentals to twice what they are worth and at the same time they've lost the entire electric and water utilities infrastructure to deferred maintenance. no power or water on the dock for three years. 20 percent of the slips are unusable for the same reason. 30 percent of the flotation has been washed away from storms with no repair or replacement in the last five years. if there's ever to be a viable marina on the lake it will have to be installed and operated either by the army or a legitimate business oriented concessionaire. we've been organized as a non profit org. for that purpose for the last three years but we've gotten absolutely no consideration from the army as yet because they have had an ongoing lease to the tribe to operate the marina and could not entertain any offers while that was in force. it is now cancelled but there could be litigation over it for years. but... the wheels of karma are turning... and this is good. Or just head to Guatemala... When are you leaving? nov. 4th. don't try to stop me! <g> -elpolvo
