Southwinds Harbor Marina Work Values

Daily Duties at Southwinds Harbor Marina :

I started at Southwinds my freshman year is High School. I started out as a gas dock attendant. As a gas dock attendant I was responsible for direct the boat to the dock, tying the boat up to the dock, and assist with fueling, I loved it! I was outside all day; talking to people it was great. The following summer I was given more responsibilities as a dock hand. I trained the new gas attendant, working the counter and register at the snack/bait shop. I would take the reading for the tank and order fuel when necessary. The next summer I was moving on up. I was placed in the office. In the office I would man the radios, schedule and book transient (overnight) slips. I would assign slips, book reservations, assist in docking, and watch over the pool. Once the summer was over the Marina kept me on to help with office work. I would complete basic things like filing, folding mailers, stuffing envelopes, things of that nature. By my senior year I was an Office Assistant. First thing in the morning I would listen to all the messages, document each one and be sure that everyone received a copy of their messages. During the day I would answer the phones and field questions about the marina and service departments, as well as take reservations for transient (over night stays). I would regularly create and send out mailers. At the beginning of the Winter Season I would draft slip contracts and payment plans of all current and new slip holders. I would collect the mail, process payments for merchandise and the service department. Everyday I would make a deposit at the bank, and biweekly create the employee schedules along with review time cards for the previous two weeks.
