Inlet Marina just opened with new fuel tanks installed for unleaded 89 octane gas with no ethanol and of course diesel. They currently are just a fuel stop but they are supposed to have their new restaurant opened on May 15th, called Beaches. This marina used to be the old Sea Love marina which was closed last year sometime then bought and is now permitted for 60 slips (not yet built), but they do have two floating docks, one concrete and one wood and a fuel dock. There is also a boat rental operation already there. They have a nice beach area near the dock office also. There is a lot of area behind the marina office which is planned for development with a Publix grocery planned as part of the complex and they are supposed to have a grocery delivery operation for the marina if folks want to get provisions while fueling..that is to come. The new owners are taking it slow but are committed to the new operations success. The Marina is very close to the St. Augustine inlet and on the AICW. So it is very convenient for cruisers to stop in for fuel.

Continued Shoaling at AICW/Bakers Haulover Intersection Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 1080

AICW/Bakers Haulover Intersection – Click for Chartview

This section of the Eastern Florida Waterway has long been designated as an AICW Problem Stretch due to persistent shoaling, as well as having a Navigation Alert due to a relocated marker at the southern end of AICW/Bakers Haulover Inlet intersection.
Note the use of the description “severe shoaling” in the article below, cherry picked from the latest Local Notice to Mariners! Clearly, mariners whose vessel draws 3 feet or more should time their passage of these troubled waters for mid to high tide!

FLORIDA-ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY-BAKERS HAULOVER INLET: Shoaling.
The Coast Guard has received a report of severe shoaling in the Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of Bakers Haulover Inlet. The shoal is encroaching the channel from the east in between Biscayne Bay Buoy 7A (LLNR 47824) and Biscayne Bay Buoy 7B (LLNR 47828). Depths of less than 4ft have been reported during low tide near the center of the channel. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution when transiting the area. Chart 11467

Navigating Bakers Haulover Inlet/ AICW Intersection Problem Stretch, near AICW Statute Mile 1080

Posted by Larry | Posted on 10-27-2012

The positive effects of recent dredging in the AICW Problem Stretch running behind Bakers Haulover Inlet, between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, seem to be waning already. The USCG has already reset the buoys to mark the recent shoaling. Captain Long relates first-hand experience with navigating this Problem Stretch.

Cruising News:
After transiting this section of the ICW several times in prior months with no issues. My students and I, avoiding the deteriorating weather offshore this week, decided to again take the ICW from Biscayne Bay to Fort Lauderdale. The section around MM 1080 has always been narrow with encroaching shoal. I have always seemed to hug the new green cans around the problem shoaling area, probably just due to southbound traffic. This time we were mid-channel and hit bottom between Red 6A and 6B. It was hard sand and we quickly got underway. My draft is 4’11″. I advise to proceed slowly through this section and stay nearer the newly moved green cans where I had no less than 9′, just after low tide.

Advice on Navigating Bakers Haulover Inlet/ AICW Intersection Problem Stretch, near AICW Statute Mile 1080

Recent dredging in this AICW Problem Stretch seems to not be holding, and the USCG has reset the buoys to mark the shoaling. Captain John offers advice on proceeding through this Problem Stretch.

The ICW channel thru there is good but narrow. Stay as close to the east side green buoys as possible because the strong current (and wind) coming in from the inlet often pushes hard east to west, and it is easy to wander into shallow water on the west side of the ICW. Also the sand bar and channel is very crowded on weekends. Be careful.
