Relativity

850 to zero

850 to 1500

This marina has a unique feature, a 1,500 feet long dock.  They call it the Mega Dock and it is the trademark of Charleston City Marina.  We were first docked at 850 meaning 850 feet from the ramp.  Said ramp is not the ramp to shore but the main street to the shore ramp.  Said main street is another 1000 feet to shore.  I asked for and received a closer dock so now we are at 150 plus the 1000 to shore.  One does not want to forget one's keys and make the trip twice.  Now the dock is obviously not meant for 40 footers.  There is a 180 feet rag ship docked at about 850 on the outside that topped off their tanks upon arrival.  The high speed pump has 1500 gallons pumped at the price of $4,358.  Just a top off.  Heck, we topped off and took on a whopping 30 gallons.  Made the marina bottom line for the day.
