Picture by the Calgary Herald
A fire broke out on Wednesday, 21 October with a huge loss for many of my fellow voting friends at the Marina. The fire is still being investigated at this time, and it is still unsure of the cause of the fire. As you can see from the picture from the Calgary Herald 3 to 4 boat houses were completely destroyed and I am sure several other boat houses may have some damage to them. My slip where I keep Springer was untouched fortunately, and with even greater luck, Springer is currently at the Shelter Island Marina undergoing a refit.
The fire department was at the Marina minutes after the fire started and contained the blaze. The Marina is brand-new, and is equipped with the most up to date fire systems as per the new fire codes. The firefighters simply had to plug in their hoses at the docks and go to work. Springer will have her refit completed by the end of the month. Hopefully the cleanup at the Marina will occur by then so that we can bring her home to our slip.
