Marina.

Ian reported that measures have been taken to ensure that all boats in the marina are in sheltered berths for the winter.
Art reported that he will be taking care of issues found on the last dock walk.
Tennis.
Mike reported that Doug Bates has repaired the court scrapers. This is very good news. Mike Fossl suggested a mid-season power wash of the courts to prevent build-up of moss.
