END OF ERA 2/18/22
We said goodbye to our parents over
40-year plus legacy in the marina business at Corey Beach. Howie & Flo purchased Blue Point BluePoint Marina in 1979. Prior to that, they operated Howies Marina on Vanderbilt Blvd in Oakdale. Their son Jon was the master mechanic at BPM for over 30 plus years.
Countless other family members contributed to its success over the years but these three made it their life.
As a whole, our family treated customers with great care, and as FLO said time and time again "you are now a member of the family!!!"
The customers were the reason, Howie,
Flo, & Jon kept going all those years & never retired. But now it is time to say a very BITTERSWEET goodbye.
We want to thank our customers for their loyalty over the years and could not have asked for a better BUNCH of extended family members.
YOU WERE THE BEST!!
Thank you to James for keeping things going for our customers and his family over the past 2 plus years.
We will miss you all, and good luck to you.
Be safe and HAPPY BOATING............. Judy
Best Regards To You All, The Svendsen Family
