Re: Delaware River Marina questions
I have often thought about keeping my boat at Phila Marine Center or Piers, I could take a bus to within 4 blocks of the boat. Both marinas have very good wake protection.
But no haulout and for you no trailer storage. The closest trailer launch ramps would be the Frankford Armoury, or Essington.
There are a number of power and sail boaters who summer at Phila Marine Center and haul out at Fox Grove Essington or Neshaminy at Croyden. Both Neshaminy and Fox Grove offer trailer storage.
There are also power and sail boaters who stay in the water through winter at both Phila Marine Center and Piers.
Anchorage does not have a trailer launch ramp and the travel lift has not worked for years, also no on site boat or trailer storage.

A police ring of steel surrounded Belfast city centre as a republican parade and associated loyalist protests on the main thoroughfare scared shoppers and visitors away and devastated trade.
Hundreds of police kept the two sides apart yesterday afternoon as they exchanged hate-filled insults on Royal Avenue.
Meanwhile in Londonderry, a huge event organised by the Apprentice Boys passed off with a "carnival-like" atmosphere and a police chief praised it as the most well-behaved parade he'd seen almost 30 years of policing.
The contrast between the two cities could not greater.
In Londonderry there is now an accepted accord on parading, while in Belfast there is still no agreement and the dispute over the 12th of July parade through Ardoyne is still rumbling on more than a year after it was halted.
The republican anti-internment parade yesterday snaked its way through nationalist areas of north Belfast after leaving Ardoyne on its way to Andersonstown in the west of the city via the main shopping precinct of Royal Avenue.
Missiles, fireworks and coins were thrown by a small number of people who took part in the loyalist protests against the parade.
Police said one of their officers and a member of the public were slightly injured.
The city centre was in a virtual lockdown with traffic excluded from several streets early in the afternoon and police water cannon on standby in back streets. The police deployment was one of the biggest ever seen in Belfast city centre with PSNI chiefs taking no chances following major trouble at the same parade last year when 56 officers were injured.
Shoppers and visitors unaware of the event were taken by surprise by the huge security operation and parade, while those who did know it was taking place stayed away in their droves.
Businesses complained that the massive disruption had hit their takings.
Glyn Roberts, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Independent Retail Traders' Association, said he witnessed "very ugly scenes" and said the business community will be urging political leaders to find agreement on controversial issues like parades.
Mr Roberts said: "There was significant disruption and particularly in the Royal Avenue area there is no doubt traders did lose a considerable amount of money. What type of signal does this disruption send out?"
Belfast Deputy Mayor Maire Hendron said: "It is frustrating that many businesses have lost a large amount of trade due to this parade and protest. This has been a largely peaceful parading season, but I hope that all sides will work together to minimise disruption in future years."
The Mourne Seafood Bar based at Bank Street near the parade route said their takings were "down £2,000" from the previous Sunday.
The Remedy Cafe Bar in the city centre also complained about losing trade as the police cordon blocked the street near their premises.

Baldwinsville I am supporting Derek Shepard in the primary race for Republican County Legislator for the 13th District.
As president of the Greater Baldwinsville Economic Development Agency, he has shown great organizational and leadership skills. His primary focus has been bringing economic growth to the area by promoting tourism. The carp tournaments and alumni weekend are supported by GBEDA and the Margaritafest, which was almost entirely his vision, has been very popular.
Besides being a full-time SU law student and on the dean's list, Derek is a town of Van Buren Councilor, on the board of Canton Woods Senior Center and president of GBEDA. He was executive director of Parkrose Estates and left that position to be able to attend school full-time and graduate in three years.
He has worked tirelessly to bring fiscal responsibility to the town and to any organization of which he has been a part. He is extremely organized and never turns down an opportunity to make the greater Baldwinsville area a better place to live.
I know he will bring this ambition and integrity to the 13th District and the whole of Onondaga County.
Mary Crego is the treasurer of the Greater Baldwinsville Economic Development Agency treasurer and a Van Buren resident.

By J. Taylor Rushing - 10/22/09 05:01 PM EDT
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), one of Wall Street's most consistent
supporters, is nudging the Obama administration to go further in its
effort to restrict executive pay and reform financial firms that
received public bailout funds.
In a letter Thursday to the administration's "pay czar," Kenneth Feinberg, Schumer endorses Feinberg's announcement Thursday that salaries to 175 executives at seven companies would be cut by 90 percent over their 2008 levels.
A longtime protector of the financial industry, Schumer told The Hill the economic meltdown changed the rules for Wall Street.
"We're in a different world here, and if you get bailout money the same practices can no longer continue to exist, period," he said.
Schumer's letter reads, "While reigning [sic] in compensation practices at these firms is certainly necessary to ensure that taxpayer money is well spent and not squandered on lavish pay, executive compensation is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the practices that so recently put our entire financial system at risk.
"These companies are the poster children for the total breakdown in corporate governance and lack of effective board oversight that contributed to the recent crisis, and I believe these reforms are critical if the government is serious about turning these companies around, returning them to private sector ownership and ensuring they participate in the markets as responsible corporate citizens."
Specifically, Schumer points to his "Shareholders' Bill of Rights" legislation that he introduced in May with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.). The bill requires: companies to allow shareholders a greater role in nominations to a company's board of directors; board members to be annually reelected; board members to receive at least 50 percent of a vote in uncontested elections, and public companies to create a separate "risk committee" with an independent board.
Feinberg plans to cap a months-long review process by announcing the cuts — along with new restrictions on corporate luxuries such as use of private jets, chauffers and even country club membership — at five financial firms and two auto companies. The seven companies are AIG, Bank of America, Chrysler, Chrysler Financial, Citigroup, General Motors and GMAC.
Schumer and Feinberg are both Brooklyn natives and longtime friends. A former chief of staff to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), Feinberg chaired the Sept. 11 Victims Compensation Fund and often worked with Schumer.
Senate reaction to Feinberg's plan mostly broke along party lines, with Democrats supporting the idea and Republicans arguing against government intervention in the private market. There was one notable exception: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Obama's 2008 rival for the presidency, said he supported the administration.
"I have no problem with greed being curtailed," McCain said.
Most Republicans said just the opposite.
"I have a visceral reaction against so much government involvement in free enterprise," said Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.)
Some Republicans are more ambivalent.
"There's no question we're way too involved in these companies, but on the other hand these companies are on the taxpayer dole," said Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.). "Hopefully the outcome of all this is that companies are very wary about becoming involved with the federal government."
In March, Schumer led the charge to force AIG to return most of $165 million in taxpayer money that the firm spent on executive bonuses. In a floor speech and in comments to reporters, Schumer threatened to push through a law to tax the bonuses at up to 100 percent.
"To those of you getting these bonuses, be forewarned: you will not keep them," Schumer said on the Senate floor.
Two days later, the House voted 328-93 for a 90 percent tax on bonuses awarded by corporations receiving more than $5 billion in bailout funds, aimed at executives who make $250,000 or more in total household income and bonuses paid or scheduled to be paid after Dec. 31, 2008. The Senate version of the bill levied a 70 percent tax.
The controversy dissipated within days, as 15 of the 20 highest-paid AIG executives agreed to return the bonuses.

Project Runway Winner, Jay McCarroll, Teams Up with Ivy League Model, Gabby Wild, to Save the Last Kakapo Parrots of New Zealand from Extinction
Project Runway winner is teaming up with model and Cornell University veterinary student to save the last 127 Kakapo Parrots from extinction by designing a sustainable dress representing the parrot for her to wear every day for the entire month of October. The Kakapo is the only flightless and nocturnal parrot. They are also the heaviest and largest species of parrot in the world.
Ithaca, NY (PRWEB) October 05, 2012
Jay McCarroll, the winner of the inaugural series of Project Runway, has designed an entirely sustainable kakapo parrot-inspired dress that will be worn by animal activist, model, charity founder, and Cornell University veterinary student, Gabby Wild, for the entire month of October as a part of her international campaign, "12 in 12 for 12" to save 12 unique endangered animals from extinction. The one-of-a-kind dress is made of organic dye, organic cotton (for the body), and 100% recycled plastic consumer bottles (for the handsewn feathers).
With 1/8th of all bird species at risk of extinction, Wild chose to represent the avian plight through the kakapo parrot, which is not only considered the largest, heaviest, only nocturnal, and only flightless species of parrot, but it may also be the oldest species of parrot in the world.
Knowing that only 127 kakapo parrots remain, McCarroll not only created the dress for Wild, eponymed by fans "the guardian angel of wildlife", but he also is donating a portion of all online sales to Kakapo conservation. "As someone in the fashion industry, an industry so blatantly exploitative and cruel to animals, I think it is my duty to help protect and preserve the natural beauty of all animals big and small," says McCarroll.
All private donations raised for the kakapo parrot through The Gabby Wild Foundation, Inc. 501(c)(3) will be donated to Kakapo Recovery in New Zealand. "We have been liaising with Gabby for more than a year now and her absolute drive and commitment to highlight the plight of kakapo and other endangered species, is truly inspiring," says Karen Arnold, Kakapo Recovery advocacy ranger, "then to have someone like Jay McCarroll come on board and lend his support makes this opportunity to spread the Kakapo Recovery message even more thrilling for the kakapo team."

Tori Spelling's husband has confirmed he has entered rehab.
Dean McDermott allegedly cheated on Tori in December and rumors have continued to circulate their marriage is in serious trouble.
Now Dean, 47, has confirmed he has voluntarily checked himself into a rehabilitation facility.
"I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I've caused my family," he told People magazine in an exclusive statement. "I take full responsibility for my actions and have voluntarily checked myself into a treatment center to address some health and personal issues."
Tori and Dean have four children together, Liam, six, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and Finn, 16 months.
In his statement Dean added how his main focus is his family.
"I am grateful to be getting the help I need so I can become the husband and father my family deserves," he said.
A source also added to People that Dean is receiving intense treatment but is allowed to leave and visit his children at their home.
It seems Dean has listened to his wife of seven years after Life & Style magazine previously reported that Tori had asked him to get professional help to save their marriage.
"Dean's always crossing the line and making women uncomfortable with his flirting," a source told the publication. "He's always had passion, but the fear that it's become an addiction is a nightmare for her. She just wants the man she fell in love with back. If it weren't for the kids, she'd have left him already."
Meanwhile another source told People magazine earlier this month that the former Beverly Hills 90210 star was "devastated" and "much more heartbroken than anyone realized" about the cheating rumors surrounding her husband.
