Port Hadlock Marina

A few days ago I visited the Port Hadlock Marina (http://marinas.com/view/marina/11555_Port_Hadlock_Yacht_Club_WA) to have a look after the storm damage of 22 November.  (http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2010311309992).  







The 160-slip marina is at the southern end of Port Townsend Bay, which makes it susceptible to winds from the north.  It has a metal breakwater fixed to sturdy posts, and I understand that the metal barriers do not reach the bottom.   Although the marina took a hammering and made life uncomfortable for its inhabitants, the 5 (one report stated 6) boats that were sunk had all been on moorings outside of the marina.
