    They came down to the docks and looked at boat and said it was too dirty, and that they didn't think the marina owner would allow them to haul it out. They said the owner would look at it in the morning, but this time, after over a year's discussion about this Formosa, they told us the owner did not like Formosas and probably wouldn't allow it anyway.The next morning I arrived early to meet with the owner and hopefully get the boat hauled, but he had already looked before I got there and said "no" (not to me personally, though). I was told to take it back to my home marina, clean it up, send them pictures and they would then decide if they would haul it out.I did, and we did clean it up. After the previous year's worth of neglect, she wasn't exactly Bristol, but she sure looked good. I took copious photos and sent them to ***** at the Hylebos Marina (***** has been very good through this whole sordid event). I was told the owner was on a two week vacation and would decide when he returned. Yesterday I was told "no" again, explicitly stating that the owner does not like Formosas and therefore would not haul our boat.This boat yard is anything but tidy, riddled with derelicts that don't look half as good as our Formosa, even when it was in its dirtiest condition. It seems incongruous that the owner's prejudice says our boat is not welcome in his yard. Perhaps it's his right to express such prejudice in a public business, but it doesn't make it right. It's conceivable he could refuse to haul your boat because he doesn't like the color of your hull, or how you tie your shoes, or how you dress, or who you love or the color of your skin. Prejudice it prejudice, regardless of one's justifications. This is no way to conduct a business, and I would like that all you who made it this far through this screed of disgust not to honor this man with your business, he cares not whether he earns it, which should be a red flag on how he'll treat your boat.
