      Another Take on Boardings by FL Law Enforcement

      More food for thought on the subject of boardings. This all goes back to the story of a very unsettling boarding which took place during November of 2010 in Volusia County, Florida (see /?p=45038). This incident caused an uproar here on the Cruisers’ Net, and elsewhere. Captain Greer’s note below is in response to this incident.

      While I agree that boarding cruising sail boats the way these law enforcement personal have done is unsettling at the least. we must remember that it is Florida, the drug running capital of the world and this is why it happens. The smugglers are skilled and trying to look like ordinary recreational vessels. Therefore, while sailing in these waters the best thing to do is always be prepared to cooperate with the authorities that are trying to make the area safe and keep illegal drugs out of our country. just food for thought. If we were boarding a boat that might be a front for drugs. knowing that these people will shoot first if possible. would we give them any warning? or would we want to secure all personal on the boat as quickly as possible? I know I know. It feels like a violation of our basic rights. but it’s their job.
      Mickey Geer

      And, appropriately, LOTS of other points of view from the cruising community:

      If the drugs were legal, the drugs could be regulated then taxed to pay the regulators to tyrannize the drug dealers. Instead the boaters are legal and taxed to pay the regulators who tyrannize the boaters in the War On Drugs. In the immortal words of Earl Pitts’¦’WAKE UP AMERICA’
      David Burnham

      It doesn’t only ‘˜feel’ like a violation it IS a violation. Yet another apologist for jack booted thugs. I’m very happy I don’t live there.
      Bosunj

      It is not their job to violate anyone’s rights. I do not know the particulars of this situation but I am just saying that it is not their job to violate anyone’s rights. Their job is to enforce the law within the limits of the constitution. In the USA we draw lines and fences. They cannot cross the basic rights fences. It is for very good reason that we do this. I am curious, is a search warrant required to enter somone’s boat without their permission?

      Monroe Harbour Marina (southern St. Johns River, in Sanfort, FL)

      It’s a fascinating cruise of some 140 nautical miles from the St. Johns River’s inlet at Mayport, to the city of Sanford on Lake Monroe. And here, cruisers will discover Monroe Harbour Marina, a long-time, cruiser friendly spot!
      Below, we have copied a discussion reprinted from the American Great Loop Cruisers’ Association forum, concerning this facility. This is valuable reading for any captain bound for Monroe Harbour!

      We’re planning to stay Monroe Harbor Marina which has a great rate for BoatUS members and should keep us in deep enough water in Sanford.
      Jeanie & Wes on
      M.V. Miss Ruby

      Be very careful going into Monroe Harbor. There is very skinny water even in good times. We drew 4 feet and churned a good bit of mud entering last April.
      Paul Brannon
      SEASEA

      When I sent my previous message about Lake Monroe and the approach to Monroe Harbor Marina I did not have my chart book in front of me. I was out on Lake Monroe yesterday and realized the directions I gave in my previous post were not as clear as they should be. Let me clear it up:
      After you pass under the railroad bridge and enter Lake Monroe, you will encounter a well-marked channel that leads to a turning basin about two miles out at G7. At that basin you want to take the channel that heads SW straight to the marina. This channel is well maintained. About three quarters of the way down the channel at R7 you will see another channel that heads to the right toward the shore. DO NOT take that channel. It is not maintained and is quite shallow in spots. Continue heading straight toward the marina.
      Monroe Harbor has two basins, east and west. The entrances to both can get skinny in spots so be careful and watch your depth sounder carefully going in. If you are directed to the east basin, be sure to favor the red side of the entrance where the buildings are. The side with the wall is shallow.

      A Brief Look at Mill Cove Anchorage – off the St. Johns River, and Doctors Lake

      Moving south from Jacksonville on the St. Johns River, (yes, believe it or else, that’s “upstream”), one of the best anchorages along the entire run from Jax to Palatka, comes up along the western banks south of Orange Park. Of course, your vessel must be able to get under a 37-foot bridge to access the waters beyond, known as Doctors Lake. Mill Cove is one of several possible anchor down spots here, but do watch out for the correctly charted pilings if you stray too near the rear of the cove.

      We are in Mill Cove on Doctors Lake tonight. Lovely spot.

      Another Good Experienced at Dinner Key Mooring Field (Statute Mile 1094.5)

      This is the second laudatory message we’ve received during early 2012 about a good experience at the Dinner Key Mooring Field. Clearly, other cruisers have releated a different sort of reaction in the past, but these recent messages lead us to conclude that things may very well be looking up at this facility.
      Dinner Key Mooring field is managed by the adjacent and sprawling, Dinner Key Marina. Both facilities are located in southern Miami, hard by the vibrant Coconut Grove community.

      We spent a good 4 days in the Dinner key mooring field in early January when a cold front passed with strong N NW winds and really enjoyed our stay . True the dinghy dock was abit crowded but we always found room and the ferry was available till 5 pm also . The ferry had fenders all around it so I cannot imagine how it could cause any damage to anyone. The shower and restroom facilities were spotless at the time we used them and I liked the fact that they were all in one unit for complete privacy . We were lucky to have a mooring which was not too far from the dock so managed to stay drywhen going ashore in our tender . The Fresh Market had everything we needed and we enjoyed going to the movies and dining out in the Coconut grove restaurants . All in all a good stay . The staff were also very friendly and helpful giving information about the locality . If the winds had been from the E SE then it might have been a different story and we would have chosen somewhere else for better protection.

      Report from Peck Lake Anchorage, AICW Statute Mile 992

      Peck Lake anchorage will be discovered east of the AICW Channel, east-southeast of flashing daybeacon #19. There has always been a shallow water bar between the Wateway, and deeper depths in the anchorage itself. Captain MacInnis was smart to enter this haven at high tide, and presumably, he left under the same conditions.
      The comment about the adjacent beach being pet unfriendly is news to us. Pet owners take note!

      We went in at near high tide just south of green 19. The previous comments were correct in how to get in. There is a lot of shallow water in there ‘“ towboat US pulled out two while we were there, so go slow, and watch the tides. We travel with our dog, and I just want to point out that the ocean beach is off limits to pets, but I was able to take him to shore on the lake side.

      A Nice Stay at Harbortown Marina (Merritt Island, on Canaveral Barge Canal, near St. M. 894)

      Guest Coupon Available On Our Web Site I was just at Harbortown myself during early January, 2012, and, as always, I was impressed with the obvious quality of this operation. And, let’s not forget, these folks are investing in the cruising community, by being a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!
      Harbortown Marina overlooks the south shores of the Canaveral Barge Canal, between Indian River and Banana River.

      Recently spent a week here. We have a cat and they are in the process of pulling pilings for cat slips, but at the bulkhead. Nice marina, nice people, and nice resteraunt. I had detailing work done by Mermaid Marine which was 4 stars and excellant price. Fuel prices are a joy.

      Great Stay at Marineland Marina (Statute Mile 796)

      The Town of Marineland has opened its ports with a brand new marina facility creating a destination for boaters on the Intracoastal Waterway between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, FL. What a GREAT posting about our newest SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR! And, oh yes, I was just here a few weeks ago myself, and I agree completely with Captains Pilon and Salette!

      MARINELAND MARINA
      I arrived at Marineland Marina a month ago for what I thought would be few days. Why? What happened to my migration south? Maybe I should not tell you this ; I worry you all make this change’¦
      I tell you this as it comes to my mind, no particular order, nor by importance:
      – It is clean, perfectly clean.
      – It is new, brand new marina
      – Prices are VERY affordable. In fact, on a monthly basis, it is MUCH cheaper than moorings you will find in St-Augustine, even for bigger boats.
      – Free (yes as in 0.00$) laundry
      – Staff is great. They all go further than expected to make sure you like Marineland Marina. I know first hand.
      – Marineland Marina is across the A1A road to a beach, large, miles long, and super quiet. I go there everyday for a walk and most of the days I am alone / or we are 3 or 4. In fact on this few miles beach stretch the most people I saw were 6!!! This is rare in Florida, rare in USA, just rare everywhere.
      – A1A route is super quiet here. Except Marineland and few houses for rent, there is not much around
      – Bike path on this A1A stretch (5 miles north, 5 miles south) is very wide and secure and quiet!
      – Many parks and reserves at walking distance
      Other info:
      – The Publix is about 4 miles away
      – Many restaurants deliver to Marineland Marina
      – You can visit Marineland, the other side of the street
      – They organise kayak tours, right here at the marina
      – Nice restaurant / bars at bicycle distance
      – Be sure to mention to Chris the draft of your boat. Most slips are more than 6 feet but some (3 or 4 slips) have less than 5 feet mlw.
      – They have nice floating docks for transients.
      – Pet friendly marina
      How come it is not more known? I think because Marineland Marina has been abandoned for 10 years until they completely rebuilt it 6 month ago / most of cruising guides you have on board are out-dated’¦
      Marc Pilon and Andrée Salette
      Sv Ma Muse, still at Marineland Marina for few more weeks

      Just wanted to echo everything Marc and andree said, marineland marina is a great facility, we too dropped in for a day or 2 and are now staying a month. The beach is beautiful and this stretch of the ICW is unspoiled and borders a huge nature reserve with many creeks to explore by dinghy and plenty of wildlife to see.
      Can’t recommend it enough.

      Good Words for Jacksonville Landing on the St. Johns River, Jacksonville, FL

      It’s a 13 mile cruise up the St. Johns River from the AICW to the Jacksonville waterfront, where mariners will discover Jacksonville Landing, on the north side of the St. Johns, midway between the Main Street Bridge and the Acosta Bridge. This complex is a downtown shopping mall/food court with a stage area for special events and concerts. This sprawling center features its own dock for visiting pleasurecraft, as described below.

      Jacksonville Landing is a wonderful place to tie up. No charge and you can stay for 72 hrs. NO power or water. Water taxi to cross the river, free bus service all over the city for 60?/65+, skyway to look over the city. The Museum of Science and History is worth a stop. We haven’t been to the library yet, but hear it’s special. The stadium and the theater are walking distance. Free wifi. AND if you tie up in the right spot, you can watch the flat screen TVs at Chicago Pizza and American Grill from your boat, or walk a few feet, buy a beer, and watch them a bit closer.

      Good Vertical Clearance Found at Three Mile/I-295 Bridge, St. Johns River, Jacksonville, FL

      The Three Mile/I-295 Bridge crosses the St. Johns south of Beauclerc Bluff and unlighted daybeacon #9 and south of the Jacksonville Naval Air Station.

      On Friday, passed through the three-mile-295 bridge (aka the Buckman Bridge) with inches to spare at height of 67′ at almost low tide. The gauge read 66+. The tide range up there is only about 2-3 feet.
      I think the report of 63 feet in the listing of the bridge must have been at a Spring Tide high water mark. Because of the report we went through at a COG of about 1/4 knot, against a still vigorous tidal current, expecting to tickle the lower beams of the bridge with our VHF antenna and hoping for nothing worse. Never touched!

      Kudos for the Dinner Key Mooring Field (South Miami, near Statute Mile 1094.5)

      Wonderful news to hear that the Miami/Dinner Key Mooring Field is being operated in such an efficient, cruiser friendly fashion. Cruisers can now put this facility on their list of stopovers with confidence!

      After reading the reviews I was skeptical of this marina. However the mooring field is a different division of the marina and you can tell it in the pride and we care attitude of James and his helper (sorry I did not get his name). After talking with James on a Sunday afternoon on our way down he gave us preliminary instructions and assigned us a mooring ball. Upon entry one call on the radio and James gave us final instructions and then made a stop to check if everything was okay. The next morning without a call his helper stopped by with the pumpout boat to see if we needed a pumpout and we did. After that we checked in. James gave us info about the marina, showers, places to eat and where to get supplies. These two guys made for a great experience. I’m sure they would always go out of their way to accomodate the customer.

      Report from Fort Lauderdale Municipal Docks at Las Olas Bridge, AICW Statute Mile 1064

      One of three municipal docks in Fort Lauderdale, the Las Olas docks lie off the Waterway’s eastern shoreline immediately north and south (mostly on the north side) of the Las Olas bascule bridge.

      Las Olas offers a Boat US discount of 25%. We agree with the other reviewers, the facilities are first rate and a real waterway bargain. Pump out only at fixed dock, C. Great pump out, no fee. Don’t look for dockhands to catch your lines or assist with the pump out, we couldn’t get anyone on VHF or phone. When we went into office, one employee was at his computer the other was playing with his phone, too busy to assist on the dock. Very disappointing. Also, dock numbers are written vertically on faces of posts so that one must enter the fairway to see them.
      The Quarterdeck as mentioned is great; good food, reasonable prices, and good service. Also, it’s only a two block walk to the beautiful beach.

      Report on One and Only Anchorage, AICW Statute Mile 744, Atlantic Beach, FL

      The “One and Only Anchorage” lies south of the Waterway’s intersection with St. Johns River, south of unlighted daybeacon #15 and just north of the San Pablo Bridge.

      Anchored here to-nite and the depth is 24 plus. Could not find the 10 -15 ft water. Noise from the bridge but other wise OK.

      Great Info on Derelicts and “Live Aboard Hulks”

      I have been preaching from my pulpit for years now, that the fly in the proverbial ointment when it comes to the struggle for Florida Anchoring Rights, is the very real problem of abandoned vessels (“derelicts”) and what I term, “live aboard hulks” (vessels that are being lived on, but which will probably never move again)! These problem vessels are the excuse that the anti-anchoring forces keep throwing in the mix every time the debate rages about Florida anchoring.
      Many others here on the Cruisers’ Net, and on many other forums, have opined that the problem of derelicts and “live aboard hulks” can be solved with existing Florida laws and regulations, thereby not penalizing all other boat owners.
      Now, our good friend, and true friend of the cruising community, Captain Jay Bliss, member of the St. Augustine Port Commission, has provided us with the means below to research derelict vessels in Florida, on a county by county basis. Thank you Captain Bay for providing this wonderful resource!

      Hi Claiborne,
      Here’s the pertinent website for the identification, procedures, for Derelict, Abandoned,and AtRisk vessels in FL

      http://myfwc.com/media/407584/GeneralOrder21.pdf

      For those that reside in any particular patch in FL, they can get an idea of the problem boats in a particular county by going to this site

      https://public.myfwc.com/LE/ArrestNet/DerelictVessel/VesselMap.aspx

      At that url, examine the Legend (rh side), then clik “Queries”. The page there allows you to type in a FL county. Do that, and press Search.
      Your county will show problem boats as colored circles. Clik on a given circle, and you’ll see further details about that boat. Stats are in the lower left side of the page. You can compare counties, etc. You can learn dates boats were identified, etc. It’s a valuable tool to see how we progress in ridding our Public waters of problem boats.
      Jay Bliss

        These "live aboard hulks" aren't a problem as you describe. these are peoples homes. Shame on anyone who tries to take anyone's home away from them.

      Recommended Anchorage South of Melbourne, FL, AICW Statute Mile 923.3

      This open unlisted anchorage is on the west side of the Waterway at mile 923.3. Marker #17 is southeast of Cape Malabar.

      As I type this I am anchored west of Green Marker 17 just south of Melbourne FL. South of here there is no place to anchor till Ft. Pierce, unless you get a mooring ball at Vero Beach. Vero’s is a great stop and very convenient but they are now almost $15 a day with tax or $430 a month. Heading north this is the first good anchorage, although from here to Titusville you can anchor almost anywhere. The winds today are blowing between 15 and 20 knots and the ride here is very reasonable. This is mainly a overnight stop although I’m spending a few days here to unwind and let the winds shift back to the north.
      If you had to, you could dinghy to the west 1/2 mile and find several convenience stores and some other misc shops.

      Good Experience in the St. Augustine Mooring Field (Statute Mile 778)

      It’s good to hear of a very positive experience in the St. Augustine mooring field. We have an earlier posting here on the Cruisers’ Net describing an unhappy experience, NOT due to any failing on the part of the St. Augustine City Marina personnel, which manage these city mooring fields, but due to wake from local fishing vessels (see /?p=76385). Then, happily we also recent published a report that a local no-wake zone was going to be extended to encompass more of the city mooring fields (see /?p=76662). As you will read below, Captains Ed and Bonnie were the beneficiaries of this newly enlarged no-wake zone!

      We have spent several days in the mooring field both spring and fall and have experienced the most courteous marina operators anywhere. In regards to the no wake issue there has been a definite improvement over this spring. We found no issues with commercial fishermen however we also have no problem sharing these waters with the real men & women of the sea.

      Old Port Cove Marina – North Palm Beach/Lake Worth Anchorage (North Palm Beach, Statute Mile 1014)

      Yes, indeed, Old Port Cove Marina is an excellent facility, or you can choose to anchor nearby on northern Lake Worth (follow link below for more info).

      Anchorage is perfect & free! Lots of room and good holding.
      The marina is 100% all amenities if you like that sort of thing. Shopping is 1 city block from the North end of Old Port Cove anchorage with Groceries and CVS as well as the infamos Carmines with the finest of wines,cheeese,sea food of all kinds and meats & fish of the finest quality anywhere. Shopping for the ladies as well. Anchor or Marina it does not get any better.
      Almost Heaven

      We stopped for a night at Old Port Cove Marina. It was the least expensive marina in the area. We wanted a pump out the morning we left, but the marina was so busy launching small powerboats from their boatel service they told us to go elsewhere. Also, if you dock there, have good fenders ready to protect from the concrete finger piers.
      Dennis Jay

      Yep, Old Port Cove Marina is an A+ in our book. The entire staff is customer friendly and will do anything within their power to help you out. We highly recommend a stay there.
      Jack & Temme Peterson

      Location was everything all the other comments said. Easy to anchor and easy to get out.

      Mother Natures Bites Again! Vero Beach Municipal Marina, AICW Statute Mile 952

      Vero Beach MarinaThose bugs can find you anywhere on the water, even at this SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR! However, if you are cruising through VERO, please stop off here and let them know how much you appreciate their support of the cruising community, by way of their support for the SSECN!

      We stayed on a shared mooringball in Vero beach about 3 weeks ago and although had planned to stay for 2 days left after one night because of voracious no seeums ! Unfortunately the people moored alongside us said bugs were not a problem so we did not use nets or take precautions until too late ending up with up to 50 bites each. I must add that we have stayed before in a more breezy location and not had a problem.

      Marineland Marina Continues to Please, AICW Statute Mile 796

      Marineland Marina lies south ‘“ southeast of AICW marker #87, along the Waterway’s eastern shore. This marina had been closed for many years, but just recently reopened. While there are not yet any nearby restaurants or good provisioning possibilities, the new incarnation of Marineland Marina will be another excellent stop for cruisers plying the AICW between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.

      what a gem ‘“ stay if you can! it is inexpensive ($1/f,t,) peaceful, beautiful, alive with wildlife, across A1A from the beach and the Marineland dolphin research facility. Super dockmaster, Chris Kelly, is helpful, friendly, and knowlegeable. if you like wild and peaceful surroundings, with up to date facilities, do NOT miss the opportunity to stay at Marineland Marina.

      We planned to stay one night and ended up staying a week. This is not a place for provisions but has a lot to offer. There is the Marine Land dolphin rehab across the street and a nature trail just south. You can hear the surf from your boat, walk the beach. Nice docks but shallow at low tide. Chris is a great harbor master. Peaceful and pleasant. We will be back.

      City of Fort Lauderdale – Cooleys Landing Docks (off the AICW on New River, in downtown Fort Lauderdale)

      Cooleys Landing is one of three city of Fort Lauderdale owned and managed dockage facilities. Cooleys Landing is the most upstream (on New River) of these three facilities. A host of restaurants (including the memorable “Shirttail Charleys”) are within easy walking distance!

      Cooloey’s Landing is a great spot from which to enjoy Ft. Lauderdale. Free trolly to beach and another up and down the beach takes you near West Marine, Sailorman, Blue Water Books, etc. We spent a most enjoyable week there just before Christmas.

      It was one of our favorite stops last year on our way south, spent a week also’¦.hope they have the stealing in check now. Great spot for yacht watching, eating and walking on the water front. Enjoyed the water tours that let you on and off and back on to many stops including the beach. Would do it again..just have to time the current when docking there, can be very very strong at wrong time.
