    • Highest Praise for Staff of Northwest Creek Marina, Off the AICW and Neuse River, near New Bern, NC

      Northwest Creek Marina lies off the eastern shores of Northwest Creek, north of charted McCotter Point.

      Please excuse me adding to my previous comments on Northwest Creek Marina but, with the passing of Hurricane Irene recently I really feel it’s worth adding:
      The standard of preparation and service at this marina went WAY beyond anything we have experienced in any other marina. During the storm (`during’,mind you) the staff were OUT ON THE DOCKS checking and adjusting the boats’ lines and hauling boats when needed. Carol & I were safely tucked into the hotel overlooking the marina throughout the storm and took videos (which can be seen at http://www.HurricaneIrene.Muttlets.Com) of the staff working in 60mph winds and water up to their chests. Several owners had left headsails up and the staff went round removing them and stowing them safely (remember, Irene was expected to be a cat2+ hurricane on arrival). They had lines strung across the marina channels to reduce any damage which might be caused if a boat did break away. They dismantled all the mains power units.
      After the storm, we had power back on the docks just as soon as the power company had returned power to the Fairfield Harbour area and all the cross channel lines cleared ready for the next weekend.
      I can’t say enough good things about this marina. It just keeps getting better!
      They really earned the money we pay there and more (although I won’t tell them that, just in case!).
