All other docks should connect to the "CQ-B-RAMP" or the "CQ-A-RAMP" network. However, you may want to experiment with connecting to all three networks to determine which one works best in your location. A password is no longer needed to connect to a network.  you connect to a network, when you launch your web browser, you will be prompted for a username and password. See the "Documents" section of this web site to get the username and password.

ACCESS GATES.  Owners can find the gates access codes (main, pedestrian, and restrooms ) in the "Documents" section of this web site.

We have received several complaints recently about unrestrained dogs in the marina.  Point 20 of the Marina Rules Of Conduct states "No pet shall be allowed to be without restraint (leash) when not confined aboard a watercraft."  For the safety and comfort of all, please ensure that your dog is on a leash when not on your vessel.
