The number of registered pleasure crafts using San Diego Bay was 

 approximately 4,000 in 1955; 20,000 in 1965; and more than 24,000

 currently accommodate 2,404 boats, and there are an additional 611 

 dry storage spaces. Plans are under way to almost double the 

 mooring facilities by provisions at Shelter and Harbor Islands.
