I was wondering how this would affect the slip/marina crowding situation in SD… I live in Sacramento and it is impossible to get a slip on the river! We have a small 24′ cruiser which we keep in a slip deep in the delta (where the availability is better) but would prefer to move to the Sacramento area instead of driving 30 minutes to get to the boat. We pay $180 a month but would gladly increase it for a closer location. Hopefully all of the price inflation on everything from gas to milk will cause some local slip-dwellers to give up their spots… Somehow I doubt it.
And I hear you about the gas. Used to be paying $4/gallon to fill our 80-gallon tank was outrageous at the gas docks. Now it’s a deal.
