Marina (Policy #9)
Lummi Island Scenic Estates Community Club (LISECC) assumes no responsibility for boats or other vehicles moored or parked on club property.
All boats must be identified with a LISECC marina decal which may be purchased from the LISECC office for $5.00 per boat. Skiffs, dinghies, canoes, kayaks, and other non-powered vessels must have a LISECC identification decal as well, provided free of charge at the Office. Temporary permits (also available from the Office) are required for members’ boating guests.
Moored vessels without a LISECC registration of some type are subject to immediate towing.
Boat owners are responsible for their skiffs, rowboats, etc. and should remove them when they are not being used during the off season.
The “RED ZONE” on the dock facilities is moorage area for loading and unloading with a 30-minute time limit or while in the active process of loading or unloading. All vessels are allowed access to the RED ZONE for loading or unloading.
No overnight moorage is permitted in the 30-minute “RED ZONE”.
No boats can be moored at the dock longer than 3 days and must be in active use. At the end of three days boats must be removed for 24 hours. HOWEVER, during holiday weekends and crab season, vessels must be removed for 72 hours.
Dinghies: LISECC-registered dinghies used as tenders may tie up in the BLUE ZONE located directly across from the RED ZONE. These vessels must be secured by a bowline (painter) with sufficient slack as to allow maximum use of this area. Engines should be left down to minimize potential damage to other craft. Under no circumstance is this area to be used as storage.
Personal buoys fall under the auspices of the Department of Natural Resources. All buoys must be properly permitted and are subject to removal by that agency.
Boat trailers are to be parked only in the upper lot.
Vehicle parking is restricted to members and visitors who are actively using the marina or clubhouse facilities. Overnight parking is allowed with written approval from the LISECC General Manager. No vessels or vehicles are to be “stored” or otherwise abandoned on LISECC properties.
Marina facilities are for use by members for recreational use only.
For boats or vehicles in violation of this policy (Policy #9), owners will be assessed a fine of $50 per day. Boats and vehicles in violation of marina rules are subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
Dogs are allowed in the marina area so long as they are on leashes. Owners must remove waste and dispose of it properly. However, no dogs, other than service dogs, are allowed in the Clubhouse area.
RULES RELATIVE TO LAUNCHING, DOCK USAGE, AND TRAILER STORAGE ARE IN EFFECT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
5.2.5.3.
The docks, beaches and the adjacent water are to be kept clean. Bottles, tops, cans, and/or pulltabs, and all other forms of litter are not to be thrown about or in the water, but are to be deposited in the proper receptacles or transported off site.
