For It is TIme...and for every time, there is a season!!

There comes a time in every persons life when they must move on.

 As many of you know, we bought a travel trailer (RV)  that we expected to keep at Oak Park Resort Marina, however, the owner of the marina told us yesterday that the local code enforcement officer had declined his request to have campers at the marina.......so based on that, we will not be coming back to Oak Park Resort Marina this year. we have sold our 34' houseboat and therefore can see no reason to return this year.

Now, as the old saying goes, "everything happens for a reason".......and we feel a bit empty that we have to leave the Oak Park Resort Marina "family", but also it is a  relief to know that there are other campsites and marinas nearby and available that welcome both an RV and a boat and us. In fact it took all of 30 minutes to find a place close enough, with a tight knit atmosphere. Between Lake Ontario and the Erie Canal there are hundreds of other marinas / campgrounds out there

We contracted with River Forest Park Campground and Marina in Weedsport, NY , and we will be using our 21' Center Console boat on the Erie Canal this summer. (Weedsport is about 20 minutes East of Clyde, while Oak Park was 15 minutes to the North of Clyde)

So....in signing out of Oak Park, I want to extend a deep thank you to all our friends , especially those on B-Dock,  and others throughout the marina, and former owners and founders of Oak Park Marina,  Ed & Joanne  and Todd (Michele) Lupo, former owners of Oak Park Resort Marina, Robb (Michele) Lubin and current owners Mike(Jill) Virts,  and their daughters for all they have done to promote boating on Lake Ontario, and to help us become the real boaters we  are. And a special thanks to Ian Phillips, and Tim Hale & Greg Hoose (employees of marina) for their special help when needed.


Thank you all,

Al & Dottie Baris (Former B-Dockers)
