I found the following information on launching from MDR. I haven't launched from there before but might be up to it to meet people for dinner and have a new experience. :?: Can anybody verify this information that has launched there before?

Marina del Rey public boat launch ramp is located at 13477 Fiji Way (Basin H). Enter the lot from Fiji Way, one block west of Lincoln Boulevard.
Fees: The fee for parking your car and trailer is $7.00 for each 24 hours, paid on the Pay Machine located at the entrance, which accepts dollar bills, coins, credit, and ATM/debit cards. This fee includes launching, recovery, and 24-hour parking. If staying over 24 hours and up to 48 hours, you will need to pay the entry fee twice and clearly display the receipts printed side up on the left side of your dashboard.
An extension for parking beyond 48 hours must be granted by the Parking Division of the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches & Harbors. You will need to purchase one permit for each 24-hour period that you will be parked, and place all receipts face up, side by side, on your dashboard. Although the dates will be the same on the permits, if placed side by side on your dashboard, the Department's parking control officers will account for each 24-hour period. You are required to register with the Department by calling 310-305-9534, Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Be prepared to follow the voice mail prompts and provide the following information:
1. Your name
2. Description of vehicle
3. Car and trailer license plate numbers
4. Arrival and departure dates.
5. Your phone number
6. Reason for extension over 48 hours.
