Why are both Portage Marina ramp finger piers buckled and not repaired? Is the south one with the orange cone not usable?

For a daily launch fee I would expect better and safer. These must be dangerous if frosty or for those with shorter legs.

I used the south one the other day. No problem. Better humped than sunk like they are at times.

I spoke to the marina today and they say that is how their floating dock works with ramp side fixed to earth. Not the best design in my mind.

I too prefer the south ramp, thanks.
