R.E.Mayo
We just got power back today, Thursday, Sept. 20th. However we have some clean up to do and are not open. Will notify when open. When compared to others around us, we were blessed.

McCotters Marina
Just spoke to Mark Henley at McCotters Marina, Washington, NC.
THey are cleaning up debris, but they have power on three of four docks, expecting full power later on; and they are rolling out the welcome mat for all coming through North Carolina.

Morehead City Yacht Basin
Docks are fine, power is being restored today so all is good. We are up and fully operational. Thank you, Morehead City Yacht Basin

Manteo Waterfront Marina – all okay

Bennett Brothers Yachts
Hurricane preparations have helped so much. Bennett Brothers Yachts and Marina survived, not unscathed but survived. All our employess who can actually get to work are here and getting everything back in order. Our plans are to be back and open by Monday, September 24th.

Dowry Creek Marina
Just spoke to Dowry Creek owners and based on note they sent earlier, efforts running a little slower than desired. However, diesel should be ready to pump by Friday; gas will take several more days. The main dock currently has several slips available to tie up, but no power yet. Some limited power is available along main pier for about five slips, more expected on main pier docks by friday or no later than Saturday for more transient slips. CLub house is open, pool being cleaned, all are working hard and want to roll out the carpet for those heading south through North Carolina.

New Bern Grand Marina
I want to first start by saying that we hope everyone is safe and out of harms way. I have finally got cell signal to send information out. Also, all ramps to the docks have now been repaired. All docks are accessible and now also have water.   See Special Report from New Bern Marina for full report.

Washington, NC
Town docks open, but no electrical until later this week.

Chowan County – Edenton, NC
Thank you for checking on us – we are up and running – Nancy

From River Forest Marina, Belhaven, NC
To our boating family and friends:
We have currently evacuated our docks, and will not be taking dock or room reservations until after the wake of Hurricane Florence.
We will be open for any gas boats needing fuel while trying to get out of harms way. We wish everyone safe travels, and looking forward to seeing you after the storm.

Moss Landing
We had approximately thirty boats remain in the marina. At this point all are secure and doing nicely. The floating docks have performed perfectly without any damage yet. We received about 10 feet of storm surge but the wind has been moderate. Flooding is now an issue but hopefully it will dissipate as the storm moves inland.
Thanks Terry Smithwick

Manteo Waterfront Marina
So far we have come through unscathed.
It’s got to be a miracle !
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers !

Bald Head Island Marina and Deep Point Marina
Bald Head Island still remains under a “State of Emergency” along with Brunswick County, North Carolina. This includes mandatory curfews in the evenings so that NC-DOT crews working can make necessary repairs without dangers on the roadways due to storm damages. Additionally a number of other local municipalities are also under curfews.
Bald Head Island Marina and Deep Point Marina remain closed until further notice. The Cape Fear River is also closed until officially reopened by the US Coast Guard.

Southport Marina
Closed until further notice

Downtown Marina, Beaufort , SC
Just wanted to give ya’ll an update on our marina. We were fortunate enough not to have to close our doors. We are open every day for transient slips and fuel. There was also no impact on our beautiful town.
Thanks!

Jekyll Harbor Marina
All is well at Jekyll Harbor Marina. Also that we have plenty of fuel on hand for those that are fortunate enough to be southbound and away from Florence.

This now allows transit from Elizabeth River to Beaufort/Moorhead City, NC via the major ICW route. Vessels that had been collecting at anchor or marinas up the Elizabeth River/Hampton or at the basin are now able to head down the ICW to Beaufort and points south. Boats at Coinjock, where many sheltered from Hurricane Florence, are now moving to Beaufort as well; the ICW waterway is likely to be crowded.

Many areas south of Beaufort, NC, where flooding occurred/is ongoing, are in recovery. Oriental just got power to the marinas in the last day or so, as of Sept. 20th. However, due to the fact fuel pumps and tanks require power, as well as EPA certification to re-open, it will be on a case-by-case basis for fuel availability; at least four more days for Oriental Marina and Inn, who usually has fuel for boaters.

There may be some slips, but high water caused damages. Whittaker Pointe Marina is open with some slips/without fuel, but again, call ahead. Pungo River showed major flooding (water up to windows on buildings), so checking in that area is critical.

As to fuel, Beaufort Docks have fuel and slips; making slip reservations are advised, though. Many boats are leaving from that location heading to Charleston, SC as their next stop. Common sense suggests the ICW will be impacted by floating debris, so night travel is certainly not advised; offshore is possible with great care. At all times, manning the helm with eyes visually scanning the water during passage is critical. Some inlets are likely shoaled, and the information is limited until the USCG checks out buoys and depths.

Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach, SC is open and has fuel, per their dockmaster as of September 20, 2018. So, if a jump to Charleston, SC is too far, stopping in Myrtle Beach could be an option for fuel needs.

For those boats heading south to the Chesapeake Bay, the various lower bay marinas are open and fuel is available; it’s business as usual. Newly dredged to 8+ feet Saltponds Marina has slips and fuel, as does Bluewater Marina, Old Point Comfort, Cobbs Marina, Tidewater Marina, Norfolk Waterside, Portsmouth Public Docks, Ocean Yacht Marina, and Atlantic Yacht Basin to name a few. Mill Creek Anchorage at Fort Monroe near Old Point Comfort YC has a new floating dinghy dock just completed; this allows anchored vessels to tie up their dinghies on the main street of Phoebus, with easy walking to local eateries and grocery stores. Car parking is available nearby. No damage was experienced only minor flooding; marinas/anchorages are all open and fuel is available.
