STAMFORD, Conn. Boaters in Stamford received good news last weekend, when the Skip Gardella Marina at Harbor Point opened its fuel docks.
The marina opened on May 25; however, the fuel docks were not in service until last weekend.
The marina will offer boaters a variety of services on an interim basis, including emergency and nonemergency hauling, to replace Brewers Yacht Haven West, which left the site in October after Building and Land Technology declined to renew its lease in order to remediate and rebuild the property.
The Stamford boating community was inconvenienced by the lack of fuel services, as boaters were forced to go to Westcott Cove or Cos Cob; many have always relied on Brewers, Stamford boater Maureen Boylan said.
You have to spend more money on gas, just to get gas, Boylan said, prior to the announcement of the marinas fuel services.
