I figured if he didn't bother googling it, I wasn't going to bother either.

Actually, some sad news, it looks like the yard may have changed hands. It used to be run and I belive owned by an fellow about 90yrs old (no exaggeration) and maybe 5'3" at most who still did an awful lot of physical work around the yard. He is amazing to watch move around the peirs and handle rope and boats -- you don't get to be a 90 yr old boatsman without some unique skills. The yard is an equally amazing place with generations of wooden boats in the yard slowly being overgrown by the vines which cover the hillside there. It used to be that any of the abandoned boats on the yard could be had for the back storage fee or some equally reaosnable price. The website alone leads me to believe that there may be new management (and or ownership).
