    • Good News from Fernandina Harbor Marina, AICW Statute Mile 716


      Our thanks to Wally Moran and community leaders for assisting in having a dinghy dock restored at Fernandina Harbor Marina, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR. Fernandina Harbor Marina, heavily damaged by Matthew and offering only limited service, is right in the heart of the many wonderful things to do and see in this special port, see /160351 and call for latest information, 904-310-3300.

      Officials in Fernandina Beach decided on Friday to put a dinghy dock in place [at Fernandina Harbor Marina], as I was advised Friday by the president of the local Chamber of Commerce, who sent me the following note she received from the marina –
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      A message from Joe Springer at the Marina:
      Just wanted you to know we have rearranged boats in the marina and now have a dingy dock area set aside.
      This will allow those vessel that are in the harbor, at anchor, a place to come ashore and visit our downtown area.
      This area is for dingy boats under 10′ in overall length.

      So – there is now a way for those passing through FB to get ashore and enjoy the city, and just in time for the Thanksgiving crowd coming out of St. Marys, GA.
      Note – marina itself is closed, and mooring balls are not available. The only option here is to anchor, or take a slip at one of the other, far less convenient to downtown, marinas. Fuel could be an issue for some and this needs to be noted.
      I did promise the Mayor and others on town council and the Chamber that I would see to it that this change was publicized both on my own social network, and with major online boating media.
      Wally
