      Praise for Key Largo Harbor Marina, Hawk Channel, Key Largo, FL


       View In Chartview

      Key Largo Harbor Marina overlooks the northern banks of Port Largo Canal, hard by this stream’s 90 degree turn to the west.

      Just had our 42′ sailboat, Pura Vida, hauled out and the bottom painted and topsides detailed. We can’t say enough good things about the staff at this marina. The owners are there everyday and very active in the operation of the yard. Highly recommend their services, very meticulous and thorough. Very secure 24/7. They are making improvements to the facilities and getting better everyday. It’s never fun to live “on the hard,” but the staff here made us feel at home.

      More Good Words for Lake Park Harbor Marina, AICW Statute Mile 1017


       View In Chartview

      Lake Park Harbor Marina is on the west side of the Waterway, one mile north of Lake Worth Inlet. Our thanks to Skipper Silvio for this good report.

      This is a wonderful little marina. The super nice staff stayed past closing to help us get settled on the dock. We never saw less than 8 ft in the entrance channel or in the marina. The bathrooms and laundry were clean and well kept. And there is in fact a Dunkin Donuts two blocks away…..

        We were required to leave Lisa Marie at this marina for 4-5 weeks a few years ago due to a family crises. The Dockmaster – Mike (I believe formerly from LI) was FANTASTIC.

      Good Words for Fort Pierce City Marina, AICW Statute Mile 966.5


       View In Chartview

      The entrance channel leading to Fort Pierce City Marina, a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!, runs to the west, just south of the Fort Pierce high-rise bridge, and well north of unlighted daybeacon #188.

      This was a fun place to stop for a couple days and wait for weather to pass. They have a well-marked channel (although with a strong current), and spectacular floating concrete docks that were easy to tie up to. The marina has great bathrooms and laundry, but the location is even better. They have a huge Saturday morning farmers market where you can stock up any fresh groceries you’d want, plus at least a dozen restaurants within a few blocks. We ate at 121 Tapas on the Water, and loved it. There’s an Enterprise car rental a mile away if you need it. There’s a manatee education center right next to the marina, an art museum, and some exhibits about Zora Neale Hurston (I didn’t know she was an anthropologist, in addition to being a writer) and about the Highwaymen (a school of local artists). This was a lovely marina, and a great place to spend a couple of days!

        I agree that the Fort Pierce City Marina is a good stop when moving south or north. I spent several weeks there and found it to be convenient, friendly and a good place to recharge …………………… Bob Asby

      We plan on cruising around Berry Islands, Exumas down to Land & Sea Park and back up to Abacos. I’m particularly concerned about having internet connection in Exumas. I must have at least intermittent access for my US Clients during our 3 mos cruising. Has anyone had any experience with Global Marine Network or can recommend another satellite internet service?
      Thanks

      Propane availability
      Posted: 24 Jan 2016 09:21 AM PST
      We’ll soon be making our first trip to the Bahamas. We have propane refrigeration. A common “20 lb” exchange tank lasts about 10 days. There’s plenty of info on diesel, gas and dockage availability and prices, but only occasional mentions of propane. Do we exchange or refill? Planning on 3-4 months for maybe a Bimini / Berry / Exumas / Georgetown / Eleuthera loop.
      Can ya’ll enlighten me? Tips? Thank you for the help!

      Tide charts?
      Posted: 24 Jan 2016 09:19 AM PST
      Hello Explorer team,
      Forgive me if I’m failing to do my research, but how would you suggest the best way to find exact tides in correlation to Nassau’s listed tides? Am I missing a + or – somewhere that will tell me the tides in Berries/Exumas? Sorry for my ignorance, I felt like I would ask the experts before using the Google.
      Thank you for advice!

       View In Chartview

      AGLCA member Benjamin Peeler has these good words for Sunbury Crab Company in Brunswick, GA. Sunbury Crab Company Marina lies off the Waterway along the western shores of the Medway River, on the charted Sunbury Channel, north of Dickinson Creek.

      Had 2 great stays at Sunbury Crab Co. on our last trip down ICW to this summer. Highly recommend.

        Easy enough. Hang a left coming out of Sanibel Harbor and head under the sanibel bridge. Need to honor the reds until #6 then you can head for the tip of of Fort Myers Beach (aim to right a bit say the Beach pier) until you pick up the marks of Mantanza’s pass. Follow that in (favor the greens going around Bowditch point and exercise caution-the sand moves there. Follow the channel along the back side of Ft Myers Beach. Wave to the Coasties; go under the Mantanza Pass/Fort myers beach bridge; wave to the folks at Bonita BIlls; hang a hard left after you get under the bridge (it is very shoal in the middle ) following the marked channel around past the shrimp boats/docks and Salty Sams will be at the end of this commercial stretch.

      Good Words for Fort McAllister Marina, Ogeechee River, near AICW Statute Mile 603.5


       View In Chartview

      Loopers Michael and Marian War give many reasons to take a delightful cruise up the Ogeechee River to this excellent marina. The marina is located on the southern bend of a hairpin curve in the Ogeechee River.

      Fort McAllister Marina on the Ogeechee River. Turn to port at R98 and CALL them – 912-727-2632. Follow their directions precisely as you will cross from one side of the river to the other as you approach. The marina has added buoys to mark the route from the north side of the river across to the dock. Best to dock at slack tide as the current runs about 5-6 knots. The marina has alongside floating docks, gas and diesel fuel, and Fish Tales Restaurant for dinner. Two showers and a washer/dryer just across the street, and if you’re interested in history, it’s just under a mile to Fort McAllister State Park, where Sherman ended his march to the sea.

        We went there by boat in 2009 for a couple of days and again in 2011 and visited the area several times by car since then. It’s a great marina and close to some interesting history, as the poster said. It is worth the 7 mile trip upstream from the ICW. Make sure you put your pointy-end upstream when you tie up!

        Going upstream, follow close to the starboard/north/LDB bank until you get the marina in site. Water is plenty deep very close to the bank.

      Compliments for Hidden Harbor Yacht Club, AICW Statute Mile 670.5


       View In Chartview

      Hidden Harbor Yacht Club is a transient friendly facility, located on Troupe Creek. This body of water intersects the AICW, immediately north of St. Simons Sound, near markers #237 and #238. These good words are from Loopers Michael and Marina War.

      Hidden Harbor Yacht Club north of St. Simons Island. Meeting Bobbie, the manager, is worth the trip. In a previous life, she was a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles, and she knows boats and the Georgia waters. It’s a small marina, part of a condo complex, and easy to find on Troupe Creek. http://hiddenharboryachtclub.net/ Bobbie will call the owner of a nearby restaurant to fetch you and return you to the marina. Patty’s (not sure of the name) is run by a retired law enforcement officer and caters to the nearby Glenco Federal Law Enforcement training center. Best pecan pie we’ve ever had.

      I am bareboat sailing a family trip in March departing out of Nassau and looking for suggestions on (1) best spots to anchor for great activities including snorkeling, swimming, lobster hunting and sightseeing. (2) best anchoring locations for night. We are planning a counter clockwise route leaving Nassau going south through the Exumas and return Nassau. Also any great restaurants along that route to have dinner where we san sailing in. Thanks, Bill

      Shoaling Reported south of Gordan Pass, Naples to Marco Island Channel, 1/17/2016


       View In Chartview

      Carey Moluchi reports observing shoaling in the inner channel which lies east of Keewaydin Island south of Naples.

      We have a 4 ft draft sailboat and took the inside passage from Marco to Naples Jan 15th 2016. We found a shallow area right in between the markers at #67 which is a few markers before the channel joins the main channel from Gordon Pass to Naples. We were on mid tide and our depth finder showed 4.2. So caution would be required at this location. We found the rest of the channel fine and it was well marked.
