Marinas Offshore Explorer with Scott Dodgson

    • Places & Travel

Let’s talk about Marinas. Most people are introduced to the marina by their curiosity. They want to get into boating. They wander along the wharf marveling at the boats soaking up the atmosphere. That atmosphere has been monetized to the detriment of the marine community.

Real estate developers have sucked the life of the marine community out of the marinas turning once an oasis of marine culture and public access into a theme park of corporate interests.

Scott grinds on the reality and the disappointment of lost business, friendships, and socializing within the marine community.
