city dock - June 23, 2008

Congratulations on the new city dock! Are there more and bigger slips? Frequently, we have had to bypass your port because there have been smaller boats (I am not knocking smaller boaters, they deserve space too) tied up along the bulkhead, which had been the only space for larger boats (too wide to fit in the older slips) to tie up. Is there a detailed slip plan or map so that one can plan on where to dock? Looking forward to visiting your new facility.
