Bark Shanty Marina ,Port Sanilac Mi

After a good day's work, the south fence area is almost clear of everything that used to be against it. The walkway has many new boards and is in great shape. The dock ramp is back in line with the dock and is on its track.
The whole dock system is pulled south about a foot, giving it space from the PS Marina dock. We have many new boaters this year, and we welcome them all.
