I would like a wet slip. Can I move my boat over immediately upon membership approval?
LLSC is a club and not a marina. We are limited by the Corps of Engineers in our slip capacity. As a result, in most instances our wet slip capacity is completely full. A process is in place allowing members to be placed on a waiting list for a wet slip once approved for membership. A non-refundable deposit must be sent to the Harbormaster to be placed on the waiting list and slips will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. There is little insight as to the length of wait. If you do not have a trailer and have to have a wet slip, alternate arrangements should be made.
