      LNM: US Navy Operations, Big Bend Area, Florida Northern Gulf


       View In Chartview

      Local Gulf boaters are accustomed to Naval operations in the area, but transients need to be aware of and avoid the testing areas.

      FL – GULF OF MEXICO – U.S. Navy Testing
      Continuing until approximately June 2, 2020, the U.S. Navy will be conducting test operations in several areas south of Panama City, Florida, aboard primary vessel M/V PATRIOT, or from suitable alternative platform. Primary test areas are in the vicinity of 29-57-00.0N 086-53-00.0W (29°57.0000N / 086°53.0000W, 29.950000 / -86.883333) (100-foot op area) and 29-40-00.0N 086-19-00.0W (29°40.0000N / 086°19.0000W, 29.666667 / -86.316667) (330-foot op area). It is requested that all surface vessels remain at least 2 nautical miles from test vessels working in these areas as they are likely to be under restricted maneuverability towing conditions during test events. There are also items on the sea floor and in the water column in these general areas. Any items moored close enough to the surface to be a hazard to navigation will be lighted, buoyed, and/or guarded while deployed for short durations during the test period. M/V PATRIOT will be on station in these areas during test events scheduled at a frequency of approximately 3-5 days per week. Concerned traffic should contact the U.S. Navy Support Vessel on VHF-FM Channel 16, heed all instructions given, and stay a minimum of 2 nautical miles from vessels on station in any of these operational areas. Additionally, it is requested that all trawler operations within 2 nautical miles of the op area positions given be avoided at all times as U.S. Navy equipment has been deployed in these areas and will remain in these areas through the duration of the test event.

      Anchoring Restrictions in Georgia-IMPORTANT UPDATE by Kim Russo

      Our thanks to Director Kim Russo for this update on anchoring in Georgia as posted on AGLCA’s Forum.

      Since publication of proposed rules for HB201 in late May, many individuals and boating groups have voiced strong opposition to the intent of the law and subsequent rules. Following a public meeting in June, a record number of public comments submitted to GA’s Coastal Resource Division of DNR, and a Stakeholders’ Meeting at CRD headquarters in Brunswick in late July, it became apparent that changes were needed in HB201. Following weeks of review and exchange of ideas between several boating stakeholder groups and individuals, areas of concern in HB201 were identified and suggested revisions were developed.

      Stakeholders representing Waterway Guide, a coalition of membership organizations (including America’s Great Loop Cruisers’ Association (AGLCA), Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA), Marine Trawler Owners’ Association (MTOA), and Defever Cruisers), National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and Save Georgia’s Anchorages contributed suggested revisions for GA’s Anchoring Law – HB201 and have submitted these changes to key GA legislators in hopes of getting a bill introduced in the 2020 session of the General Assembly.

      We have stressed the point that responsible boaters want to be involved in the process and help to find solutions instead of being viewed as part of the problem. A summary of the suggested revisions to HB201 will be shared with our membership as soon as possible.

      LNM: New Drawbridge Proposed for Dismal Swamp Canal, AICW Alternate Route


       View In Chartview

      Southbound Dismal Swamp Canal departs the Waterway at statute mile 7.2. This proposed bridge is just south of Deep Creek Lock. Deadline for comment on this proposal is Dec 27.

      VA – ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY (AICW) – DISMAL SWAMP CANAL – NEW DRAW BRIDGE

      All interested parties are notified that an application dated June 28, 2019, has been received from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by the Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, for approval of the location and plans for construction of a new drawbridge over a navigable waterway of the United States.
      WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Dismal Swamp Canal, mile 11.1, at Chesapeake, VA.
      CHARACTER OF WORK: The proposed project is to replace the two-lane bascule drawbridge and bridge roadway approaches with a five-lane bascule drawbridge on two separate structures, (a northern two-lane and a southern three-lane) bridge. The purpose of the project is to replace the functionally obsolete drawbridge (due a narrow roadway), realign connecting roadways (due poor alignment), and meet the current design standards for roadway width and design load, providing a safe, efficient, and reliable passage for all modes of transportation. The existing drawbridge has a horizontal clearance of 5 feet and a vertical clearance of 60 feet above ordinary high water in the closed position and unlimited vertical clearance in the open position. The new bridge will be a drawbridge with a horizontal clearance of 5 feet and a vertical clearance of 60 feet above ordinary high water in the closed position and unlimited vertical clearance in the open position. A copy of Public Notice D05PN-07-2019, which describes the proposal in detail, can be obtained by calling (757) 398-6422 or by viewing at
      https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=pnBridges. Comments on this proposal should be forwarded to the address in the notice no later than December 27, 2019. Chart 12206 LNM 46/19

      Pumpout Service Unavailable at Fort Pierce City Marina, AICW Statute Mile 966.5


       View In Chartview

      Cruisers Net has confirmed that pumpout service will not be available at Fort Pierce City Marina until new pumpout lines have been installed. No completion date is projected due to the reconstruction complexities. Fort Pierce City Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, is aware of the new regulations at Vero Beach City Marina and of the inconvenience boaters may experience in trying to find pumpout service. 

      For an unknown length of time, the Fort Pierce City Marina will no longer be able to offer pump-outs anywhere on-site due to construction – not at their fuel dock nor at any dock slips as usual. Whether just a fuel stop and/or transient dockage – keep this in mind. To verify the current situation, please phone in advance so you can plan to pump-out elsewhere prior to your arrival, if needed.

      Body Movement & Being
      Wednesday, November 13th
       
      11:30 a.m.
       
      Scout Hall, 5315 28th Ave. S.
       
      How is this class unique? It reminds one of yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais and maybe other practices and yet it is not. It does not focus on repetition of a set of exercises. The classes are built on a flow of movement with a main theme that develops and finds connections in the body that make sense for more efficient movement. Words do not do it justice; it has to be experienced within the body. Is it easy? Not really. Is it too hard? Absolutely not. 
       
      This class will focus on attention as we work, coupled with body awareness, allows us to find pathways for movement that re-balance our system. It is a study about our own patterns of movement which we can change to make more sense to the system. 
       
      Classes are slower than most classes, which allows us time to find the connection, pay attention and concentrate on the center and the core of the body. No mindless repetition, but a strong mind-body connection. 
       
      We allow movement to flow, progressing in a circular motion so as to follow the shape of the joints, utilizing breath, imagery and intention while we work. All that puts us on the pain toward attaining new levels of wellness.

      Tai Chi is an excellent exercise method for people of all ages.

      Join the Gulfport Historical Society as they take a stroll through history in Gulfport. The tour examines the creation of this small seaside hamlet; the tour guides — all Gulfport locals with a penchant for history and storytelling — share the town’s history and stories with the group. The tour starts at the Gulfport History Museum where you can take a peek at some of their historic photos.
       
      Tour free for Gulfport Historical Society members. All others pay $10 per person. We have a water cooler at the museum; please bring your refillable bottle to fill up before the tour.
       
      These tours sell out, so advance ticket purchase is highly suggested. Members should pre-register to ensure they have a spot. We don’t love turning people away, but when the group gets too large it’s hard for everyone to hear our tour guides.
