Update from Martin County, Stuart, FL
At the intersection of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Okeechobee Waterway, Martin County, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, is a hub of boating activity and of events of interest to boaters.
Overall we did well, most power has been restored. TV & internet service still spotty. Fuel has been an issue, most facilities are coming back online. Boaters should be cautious of debris in the water both in & off shore, floating & partially submerged. Most boats did well with damage occurring mostly to a few vessels moored at exposed docks. American Custom Yachts reported yesterday that they hauled over 300 vessels and sustained NO damageWe did much better than many other areas of the state and have real concerns for the keys and west coast.I hope this helps and will fill you in on any new details.Sincerely,April PriceBe the first to comment!

Report from Harbour Town Yacht Basin, Hilton Head Island, AICW Statute Mile 565
Harbor Town Yacht Basin, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, lies just off the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on Calibogue Sound, below Statute Mile 565 at Marker 32, right in the heart of The Sea Pines Resort.
There are so many problems in south Florida and the Islands…our sympathies are with them all.

Report 2 from Old Port Cove Marinas, North Palm Beach, AICW Statute Mile 1014
Our thanks to Sue Morgan for this update. A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, Old Port Cove is located on the western shore of the northern Lake Worth channel, near unlighted daybeacon #7.
> Old Port Cove Marina- The marina remains evacuated. No power, phones or internet. Minor dock damage, some electric pedestal damage. Restaurant is open.
>
> North Palm Beach Marina-Little to no dock damage. Some minor vessel damage. The marina remains filled with local boaters who evacuated to this Hurricane safe Home. No power yet. No phones or internet.
>
> New Port Cove Marine Center-Hurricane stored boats were being put in the water today. There is no power, phones or internet. Can not take in any vessels yet. Marina sustained some damage to the floating docks but is easily repaired within a week or so. Several vessels anchored out in Lake Worth broke their moorings and drifted in. Boaters, do not anchor out there in a storm please! With the Lake Worth Inlet across the Intracoastal, it becomes a wash tub. There’s no where for the water to go. Other boats were sunk or were washed up on a private homeowners beach to the north.

We are fine here. Our entire charter fleet of sail and power yachts came through just fine. We even have power at our office!
Tarpon Point Marina, where we are located has no damage. I’ll see what I can find out about the area. As far as I know, the islands of Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa and Gasparilla were all fine since the storm took a turn inland.Barb Hansen

Report from Bennett Brothers Yachts, Wilmington, NC
Bennett Brothers Yachts is in Wilmington, NC on the Cape Fear River.
I just wanted to report that BENNETT BROTHERS YACHTS was unaffected by Hurricane Irma and it is business as usual. We really dodged a bullet! We hauled almost 20 boats for our hurricane haulout plan and the Cape Fear Marina slips were completely filled. Our protected location up the Northeast Cape Fear River makes for a great place to ride out any storm either in the water or on the hard.
Our staff of 20 skilled technicians are ready to assist any boaters traveling north and south with any repairs or restoration jobs needed. We often help the boat owner work with the insurance company in the event of damage from a storm on their vessel.
If you would like to talk with Al Noble, our Service Manager, to discuss any projects you might be considering, please give him a call at 910-772-9277.
Many thanks for all your help!

Hello all,
Hope everyone faired well during our massive storm. The Marina fared really well. All boats stayed in their slips and the docks rose and fell with the waves. We are still without power unfortunately. The substation that reacts with the Marina is still out. As soon as they get the substation up and running we should hopefully get the docks and building up and running. I will continue to keep you posted as FPUA keeps us posted.AS OF RIGHT NOW THE POWER IS UP!!!! WE ARE REQUESTING THAT YOU GIVE US SOME TIME TO CHECK ALL METERS AND TRANSFORMERS BEFORE PLUGGING IN YOUR BOAT. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO FINALIZE EVERYTHING.
WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF THE GENERAL PUBLIC WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE MARINA UNTIL TOMORROW.[Wednesday 9/13]
TIKI BAR AND COBB’S LANDING WILL ALSO OPEN UP FOR NORMAL SERVICE BEGINNING WEDNESDAY 9/13/2017.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING.
I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK TO WORK TOMORROW.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL. THERE IS NO ONE IN THE OFFICE TO TAKE ANY CALLS.
Please post that we will be open for dockage and fuel beginning 6:30 tomorrow morning. [Wednesday 9/13]

We have received bits and pieces of information from various sources and will continue to post them here as they come in. We invite you to post text and links and pictures as you get them.
Thanks,
Monty and Sara Lewis
Explorer ChartbooksPeace and Plenty Hotel in George Town, Exuma, reported moderate damage to their dock but little damage otherwise.
Exuma Yacht Club suffered serious damage to its docks. A major rebuild will be required.
We had a report of Big Major’s Swimming Pigs with no harm done. The Central and Northern Exumas did not seem to suffer any damage except perhaps for beach erosion and some downed trees.
Long Island was spared any major damage. The odd thing was all the water being pushed out of the bank side, leaving the western flats exposed.
A video of Acklins showed a walk along the western shoreline revealing thousands of dead fish washed up. Again, water was pushed off the bank side exposing flats and habitats.
Ragged Island took a bad hit with buildings destroyed.
Bimini experienced water over the streets and many buildings with floors under water as well as marina docks under water and being hammered by waves. No report on the extent of damage.

Sept. 9, From Dan at TCI Villas:
Thankfully I still have not heard of any loss of life or injuries. We have heard back on the condition of most villas and almost without exception the damage is very minimal. A status on power/water/communications/airport is below Water – Statement from the water company – Following yesterday’s temporary switch on, Provo Water Company have identified and fixed a number of bursts caused by Hurricane Irma. We shall be switching on water supply again today between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., so once again encourage customers to fill water containers between those hours to have water available when the water supply is switched off again. We again request that any leaks or bursts observed are reported to 231-0705. This will enable us to record and attend to those leaks, to more quickly restore normal operations at the earliest opportunity. If you do not have cell service, you can report observed leaks via this page. Thank you for your assistance and patience while we restore the network.
Power – Fortis trucks can be seen throughout the island making repairs. As soon as the airport opens Fortis said it will bring in 50+ additional workers to help get power lines restored. They estimate 2-3 weeks until power is largely restored. A statement from them is attached
Communications – The cell phone voice network is mostly down however the cell phone data network is operating sporadicly. I have had success calling the island over the data network as opposed to the cell phone network. The free app “Whatsapp” can be used to make/receive voice calls over the data network.. This app also has a texting feature.
Airport – PRESS RELEASE HURRICANE IRMA ?UPDATE? #2?: Flight Operations Soon Restored
PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands, Saturday, September 9th, 2017– The Turks and Caicos Islands Airports Authority (TCIAA) announces that flight operations will soon be restored as we assess the aftermath of the storm and first focus on emergency and rescue flights.
Scheduled carrier flights remain suspended within the Turks & Caicos Islands until further notice.
Flight operations are expected to resume at all Airports as soon as possible, since the ” All Clear” has been issued.
As the airport operator and air navigation service provider, the Airports Authority remains committed to the safety of aircraft, passengers, staff and other users of the airport. The Authority regrets any inconvenience caused and passengers are asked to contact their respective airlines for flight scheduling.
The Airports Authority is grateful that we are able to survive this storm and will continue to focus on restoration efforts to ensure minimal disruption of service.
ENDI previously mentioned that the beach in Turtle Cove is new and improved with a lot of sand. Here are some photos. This was taken in front of Conch Beach Villa (formerly Conch Pearl) which is just to the right of bridge road on coconut rd.
I will continue to send updates as I know them.
