Port Leases Riverside Marina to Windsor Yacht Club in 60-year Deal
The Windsor Yacht Club has entered into a 60-year deal to lease and operate the Riverside Marina from the Windsor Port Authority commencing for the 2020 boating season.
“The Windsor Port Authority has always recognized the importance of marina services and access to the waters that surround us. The Windsor Yacht Club has a proven record of delivering first-rate marina services. We are confident that this new beginning for Riverside Marina will mean only a bright future for our customers, and the Windsor-Essex region.” –Steve Salmons, President and CEO, Windsor Port Authority.
High Water Levels: 30 Meter Buffer Imposed along Windsor Shoreline
The Windsor Port Authority has authorized a temporary 30 day buffer zone of 30 meters for all motorized watercraft moving along the Windsor shoreline of the Detroit River. This means no motorized watercraft can operate within 30 meters of shore unless docking., ….
“We are dealing with historic high waters’ crisis, not a shipping issue. But still, by imposing a 30 meter ban we are asking all pleasure craft to be good neighbours and stay away from the shoreline property owners that are dealing with significant pressures”. Steve Salmons, President and CEO, Windsor Port Authority.
Extra Caution Advised Due to High Water Levels
The City of Windsor and Windsor Port Authority are advising extra caution be taken by anyone enjoying the Detroit River shoreline or who plan to be boating during Fireworks Night, June 24, 2019.
Extremely high water levels are creating some dangerous conditions:
- The water is much deeper than normal near the shoreline;
- The water is much colder than normal;
- The water is moving more quickly than normal;
- Obstructions near the shoreline that would normally be visible may be hidden below water now, including docks, rocks and pilings.
Everyone near or on the water is asked to use extra caution to ensure their night is safe and enjoyable.
