I'm a bit sad. I just got done working at Overton Beach Marina for the last time. If any other marina on the lake were closing down it wouldn't bother me nearly as much. Over the last ten or so years the owner, management & employees put everything they had into making it the best marina on the lake. Rebuilt the place from scratch, everything new, everything the best available. If any other marina on the lake had to close I wouldn't care nearly as much. All the others (aside from one) are owned by companies that operate lots of resorts. Overton was smaller than the rest & really like a family. Now, I really don't know all the details, but I can't believe that there couldn't be some solution. I guarantee whatever the cost of relocating to a site with deeper water would have been, the owner would have done it. I really want to go into one of my Capitalist Pig Rants, but I'll spare you. Well, I'll let YOU spare you if you wish:
