St. Lucie River/Okeechobee Waterway Marker #22A Destroyed

Posted by Claiborne | Posted on 01-05-2012

The destroyed marker, which is the subject of the message below extracted from the Local Notice to Mariners, normally sits in the heart of St. Lucie River’s run through the city of Stuart, Florida, a short hop east of the high-rise Roosevelt Bridge. Far more ominous is the “partially submerged” notation below. Mariners should exercise maximum caution when navigating the St. Lucie River portion of the Okeechobee Waterway.
We are declaring a Navigational Alert for these waters!

FLORIDA-ST LUCIE INLET TO FORT MEYERS AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE-OKEECHOBEE WATERWAY-ST LUCIE RIVER: Hazard to Navigation.
St Lucie River Daybeacon 22A (LLNR 50780) is destroyed and partially submerged. Mariners are advised to avoid the area. Chart 11428

January 6 we were moving west into Sunset Bay Marina (with the sun in our eyes), wondering where the daybeacon had gone to. This channel is narrow for a deeper draft sailboat, so stick to the GPS line or chart coordinates passing west or east of this area. The submerged alert is very helpful…extra caution to be taken when we leave.
