Once again, two SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSORS, Southport Marina, and Carolina Yacht Care, along with Zimmerman Marine, are offering these invaluable daily weather and navigation on-site briefings for Waterway cruisers.

Weather and Navigation Briefs on the Dock
Announcement
You may have read about it in SAIL Magazine or heard about it from a fellow cruiser!
Now experience it in person at Southport Marina.
Teaming with Carolina Yacht Care (cYc) and Zimmerman Marine, we invite you to join us during the Spring 2016 transient season for daily “Weather and Navigation Briefs on the Dock” – a free, one of a kind service geared towards transiting boaters. These informal discussions are an opportunity for you to join fellow cruisers at the end of the day for a presentation and interactive discussion on weather and navigation issues for the next leg of your journey.
Retired US Navy meteorologist, cruising sailor and owner of Carolina Yacht Care, Hank Pomeranz, will host the daily discussions. He will concentrate on the coastal and ICW stretch from Southport to Norfolk, Va. Hank will review the current National Weather Service advisories, watches and warnings, analyses and forecast charts and discuss the resultant forecasts for winds and seas, precipitation, temperatures, fog and severe weather potential.
On the ICW navigation side, Hank will draw from the US Army Corps of Engineers surveys, Weekly updated Light Lists, USCG Notices to Mariners, direct cruiser communication as they work their way north, recent fellow cruiser postings in cooperation with SSECN and other cruiser resources and local knowledge.
And, you won’t have to memorize everything presented. You’ll get handouts covering ICW issues that you can take back to your boat and refer to as you head north.
Briefings are held daily at 6PM through the end of May at the marina docks.
Daily “Weather and Navigation Briefs at the Dock”: yet another great reason to stop and stay at Southport Marina.
