Evening everybody.... and apologies if I am duplicating anything here... this post is largely aimed at MDL berthholders, but is open to all...
Whilst fully supporting social distancing... and stay at home (I am doing it... I hope you all too), I am both curious and very annoyed with MDL. As an annual berth holder with MDL for many years, I am more than disappointed with their response to their berth holders over the coronavirus situation and am keen to get views from other berth holders (Especially given what other marinas I.e. D & R are doing plus a few others etc.)
I have heard that MDL are offering winter berthing rates to those ‘stuck’ in one of their marinas! On an ongoing monthly basis. Would love to hear from anybody that has been offered / accepted (please be honest guys...)?
Are you still a live aboard in an MDL marina and are allowed to stay? I hope so especially if you work for the NHS or other supporting companies. and you get my full support... but others have been asked to leave? Are there others still in your marina?
Also, MDL are covering up within our marina on who is onboard their boats. Whilst putting out a message that people have left, we have proof that others are still allowed on their boats! Don’t know how or why......!
Would be interested to get views from other berth holders...! I for one paid up in full in January to secure the discount, now I hear (rightly or wrongly), that those paying on monthly on direct debit may be postponing their payments...!
This is not meant as a rant against MDL... but an honest question out there to fellow berth holders. Many thanks in advance.
Looking forward to getting back down to my boat and out on the water soon. Take care all....
