Each port on the lake have public docks with unique challenges. The Meredith docks has plenty of room to manuever, perhaps too much. I bet they can add another finger and still have plenty of room. BR mention the Weirs and he is spot on of the problem. Glendale is catered to the island residence and the Gilford businesses. Most of the time, I feel I am not wanted there.
I could go on but I'm sure everyone got the drift. Rick35 has a valid point, my boat was actually moved and retied many times at Glendale. Without my permission and in a position where it is damaged because of the concrete pilings and or banging on other boats. Glendale needs to allow more room for the land residence, transients and those who wants to do business at the marina and restauarant. The island residents beg to differ.
When boarding and or handling another boat without the owner's presence, please consider the consequences and treat the boat as if it is your own.

Have you seen the way some boats are taken care of?
The last thing I'd want is for someone to treat my boat as if it were their own.
I've seen many boats on the lake 5-7 years newer then mine and looking like they were 10 years older. I often wonder how some could spend the kind of money boats cost and let it look like some do.
I know I was anal but I'd wax from the rub rail up every time I took the boat out.
Besides I gave me a chance to develop a thirst to quench.
