This past Sunday thru Tuesday I was temporarily side-tied to the Western portion of 'J' dock, in the North basin of Everett marina. I had to move there because of dredging that's to be happening near where I had been docked.
I'm hoping that at least the other folks with Ranger Tugs and Cutwaters on 'J' dock
see this post and keep an eye out for the security of their boats. Everett security seems to not be doing that.
Sometime between when I left the boat Sunday afternoon and when I returned Tuesday mid-morning, some jackass threw rocks at my boat and the Nordhavn 43, 'Indiscretion', parked two slips away. My nearly-new boat now has four small dings through the gelcoat on the starboard side and the Nordhavn has two busted Pilothouse windows, plus a few small gelcoat chips near the anchor. The offending rocks were found on the docks next to our boats.
I filed reports with the marina office, Port of Everett security and the Everett police dept. I have since moved to a permanent slip in the South basin. I strongly and clearly recommended to the marina office folks that they contact all the slip holders on 'J' dock and tell them what happened. Luckily I was able to talk to the gentleman who showed up to detail the Nordhavn, just before I got the hell outta there. If you have a boat docked there and you haven't heard from anyone yet, this may be your notice.
If you want to get a sense of where this happened, look up 'The Muse Whiskey & Coffee', at the Everett, WA marina. 'J' dock is just to the North of Muse. I was side-tied out on the Western end, on the inside, just West of the last regular slips. There's a wide-open field and a walking path West of Muse. The path runs along the water-side of the rock-reinforced field. There are plenty of projectile choices available, and as a bonus for the less respectful walkers there, no cameras and few if any people around to see what's going on.
Happy boating everyone!
