        "excerpt": " Waldo Point Harbor Pay Berth Fees OVERVIEW OUR HISTORY NOTICES PHOTOS FAQ RESIDENTS CONTACT WALDO POINT HARBOR Located at the Northern End of Richardson Bay in Sausalito, California OVERVIEW Waldo Harbor is a privately owned 282 berth floating home marina located at the northern end of Richardson Bay in Sausalito California.The floating homes at WPH are all privately owned, each has a lease with the harbor for their berth. All of the berths at WPH are 100% occupied and have been so since the 1970's. Floating home sales and leasing are handled by each private homeowner. The harbor office does not maintain a list of homes that are for sale or for lease. Floating homes are normally sold thru traditional real-estate firms. See links for more sales and rental information. OUR HISTORY A Brief History of the Sausalito Floating home Community The houseboat community started its evolution in the late 1940's after the end of WWII. A large portion of the Sausalito waterfront was transformed during the war into a Liberty Ship construction site by the War Department and private Industry. Shortly after the war the area was sold off to private owners primarily for the purpose of salvaging the vast array of equipment and materials left over from the ship building companies. Devoid of any long term plan the area languished into the 1950's and it was during this time that a hearty group of "Beat " generation folks started to occupy the abandon barges and construction buildings left behind at the end of the war. The community grew in numbers through the 50's as early 60's and it was during this period that the entire area became well known as artist, writer, Intellectual stronghold. During the late 60's and into the 70's the community leapt in population with the influx of hippies that migrated to the Bay area from across the country. The 1970's brought on the inevitable clash between a fast-growing alternate community and new governmental regulatory agencies that were in part created by the environmentally concerned residents of the houseboat community. Throughout the 70's and 80's the area painfully went thru a complete rebuilding era that brought standard building code upgrades to the homes and marinas. These changes have slowly transformed the makeup and flavor of the community into the eclectic and diverse population you find today on the Sausalito waterfront. NOTICES How to Empty your Holding Tank By Becky Smith • March 10, 2021 Emptying the Holding Tank One major inconvenience during a power outage is the inability to flush our toilets, since our holding tanks must be emptied by electric pumps or they will overflow. The late Plumber Michael Peterson recommended that when the power goes out, homeowners should go onto the dock and turn off their water, so we can’t possibly make the mistake of flushing or running any other water until the juice goes back on. As Michael put it, “the inconvenience of turning off your water is far less than the hassle of cleaning up after an overflow.” However, there is another possibility. When we have some warning that an outage may occur (as we did with several mini-outages before the big January blackout), you can empty your tank in advance. Most holding tanks hold 30+ gallons of waste water, and the average flush of a low-flow toilet is less than 2 gallons. So an empty tank could accommodate a dozen flushes – or more if you’re feeling brave. Learn the size of your holding tank. Here’s how to do it. Some newer pumps have a remote switch which allows you to turn it on manually. Otherwise, find the power cord for your holding tank’s pump. Notice that there are two cords, attached to a tandem plug (see accompanying photos on back). The “B” plug goes into the socket and powers the pump, while the “A” plug powers an internal on-off device. Remove the “B” plug, separate them, and insert the “A” plug directly into the socket. That will activate the on-off device. Let the pump run a few seconds until you hear a “whoosh” when it’s completely empty. Then reverse the procedure and insert the “A” plug into the “female” portion of the first one (B). Then plug “B” back in the socket. It might be a good idea to practice this procedure so you can do it smoothly in a blackout.
