at this popular provisioning and fueling centre. Moorage and power are
available, along with unlimited water. Water faucets installed on the

operate more efficiently. Gas, diesel and lube oils are available at the
fuel float, whilst propane is dispensed midway to the airplane dock. An
ample supply of block and party ice is available at the store. Real ice.
