From the treaurer's desk .....

there committee chairman. Cards not turned in or unsigned will be billed the
$200.00 work assessment.
From the mooring chairman's desk .....
There are at least a half dozen boats jumping from mooring to mooring in the
Bass River. It is becoming ever more difficult to manage the area with people
moving around. Please remember, it is against the City Ordinances to tie to
someone elses mooring or move your mooring without proper authorization. If
you have proper authorization, please make sure you discuss it with the mooring
committee. If you do not have proper authorization, please return to your
mooring.
From the secretary's desk .....
Construction on the Northeast Gateway Project, a 16-mile long underwater
natural gas pipeline, is scheduled to commence off the shores of Marblehead on
or about May 24, 2007 (the "Project"). Construction is scheduled. to continue
throughout the summer and fall. The new pipeline will connect with an existing
pipeline system approximately 2 miles southeast of Marblehead Bell, then travel
offshore in a northeasterly, then southeasterly direction, before terminating
at a deepwater port located in federal waters approximately 13 miles
south-southeast of Gloucester.
This project is anticipated to bring significant large commercial traffic to
the waters off Marblehead this summer. Some of these commercial vessels, when
anchored, will require as much as a 6000-foot berth. The Project will place
high-flyer buoys offshore in the Project area that will indicate the areas of
active construction. It will be important that you maintain a heightened
awareness and exercise extreme caution when boating near active construction
zones.
In order to assist mariners, the Project has established a website
(wwwv.northeastgatewayconstruction.com) that will provide daily updates
concerning the locations of construction activities and vessels by use of an
interactive NOAA-based map as well as updates to individual pages within the
website in order to highlight ongoing construction activities. This website
contains a wealth of information and it is recommend that you use it to
familiarize yourself with th.e Project and refer to it regularly for updates.
The Project will also broadcast construction updates each day on local marine
channels - Marine channel 80 in the Marblehead area and marine channel 19 in
the Beverly - Salem area. The U.S. Coast Guard will also broadcast this
information as part of its daily Broadcast Notification to Mariners on marine
channel 16. Finally, the Sector Waterways Management Division of the U.S. Coast
Guard will also perform a weekly Safety Marine information Broadcast to inform
the public of working vessel locations and will publish information in the
weekly Local Notice to Mariners.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please call the
Project's toll-free telephone number (800-783-9171)
There are small one man projects available. Work off your work assessment now.
