      Georgia’s New Anchoring Regulations Claim a Victim in Turner Creek, GA AICW Statute Mile 585.5


       View In Chartview

      Our thanks to Ted Arisaka of Save Georgia’s Anchorages for passing along this Facebook 5/28 post from Jayne Salvo Gorham. Turner Creek which intersects the Waterway south of Thunderbolt is a small low-traffic area with two small marinas allowing access to Wilmington Island and Savannah.

      Well, today we ran afoul of Georgia’s new anchoring law. We went to anchor in Turner Creek near Thunderbolt and anchored in one of the spots recommended in the cruising guides near the town and marinas. We anchored well clear of any of the marinas but apparently one of the marina operators immediately made a call to the Georgia DNR to complain and an officer came out in her car and raised us on her bull horn. We talked to her on the telephone and she told us we were definitely not allowed to Anchor within 1000 feet of any dock of any kind which pretty much eliminates all of the creek. There was one spot way up the creek under the bridge where we could be a thousand feet away from anything and it turns out it was a relatively nice place after all.

      Although the officer was very professional and polite, it is quite clear that Georgia is very hostile towards Cruisers who dare to Anchor in sight of their dock

      We were planning to go ashore and spend some money in the town, but not anymore.

        One idea, would be to establish anchoring reciprocity agreements from state to state, like with so many other things. That way, if you lived in a state that prohibited anchoring, you could expect the same treatment, when you went somewhere else. Because, you know a lot of the people in Georgia who support these anchoring regulations, probably like anchoring in other states. They just don't want you to do it in their state.

        If the poster's push pin locator is correctly placed, she was indeed in violation of the regulations. We just had our boat hauled at that marina / yard…Sail Harbor…with excellent results I might add…and her locator pin is right off the end of the Sail Harbor's docks. And the Creek is very narrow. The Aqua Map icon should be removed from that location. There is another anchoring icon a bit further up the creek toward the bridge where there is bigger water. Sorry she got flagged, but she should have been more courteous to Sail Harbor's facilities.

          Hi Kent:
          The marker shown on this cruisersnet post is not where they were anchored. I contacted the OP and she messaged me her GPS coordinates both before and after she was asked to move by the GA DNR. It appears they were in compliance with the 300ft setback required in "Marina Zones". My colleague, James Newsome, in our grassroots group "Save Georgia's Anchorages" contacted GA DNR and posted this positive outcome over on our facebook page.

          [James H. Newsome] "As a follow up on this incident, I forwarded 2 charts to DNR along with a brief summary opinion of why we thought the DNR officer and marina owner were wrong.
          "Assuming the boater's accounting of the incident is correct, and it certainly appears credible, we believe she was inaccurately advised by the DNR officer to abandon her anchored position. Additionally, the officer stated that the boater could not anchor within 1000' of any dock. This is not correct. The marina zone allows boaters to dock closer than 1000' but not within 300' of a marina."
          Pictures of the chart by Ted Arisaka will be included in replies to this comment.
          I discussed this situation with the Deputy Commissioner for GA DNR yesterday and he agrees with our assessment of the incident. He also commented that the officer has been contacted and the Commissoiner's AO, which established the setbacks, has been reviewed with her in an effort to prevent a future occurrence. He also said that the marina owner was contacted and informed that the boater was legally anchored and should not have been made to move.
          Deputy Commission Rabon and I agreed that while a mistake was made it was encouraging that all parties involved were cordial and acted in a responsible manner. I acknowledged that our boating organizations are working to educate cruisers and advise them of the current situation with the anchoring laws in GA.
          As a further update, we are hopeful that GA's HB833, legislation to replace HB201, will pass the Senate in the final phase of the General Assembly which will reconvene mid-June. DNR and our coalition of boating groups strongly support this legislation."

        We took the opportunity in April 2020 to just skip the entire state of GA when coming south by going outside to Jacksonville from the last passable inlet in SC.

      5. Ted Arisaka -  May 29, 2020 - 10:32 am

        What is unfortunate is that the DNR Officer apparently only cited the 1000ft setback from structures requirement and seemingly not aware of the 300ft-1000ft "marina zones" that allow anchoring and take precedence. Our group Save Georgia's Anchorages intends to provide some feedback to the DNR on this matter. Thanks Cruisers'Net for broadcasting this story.

      Good News Report from Hell Gate, GA AICW Problem Stretch Statute Mile 602


       View In Chartview

      Our thanks to Bill King for confirming the success of last year’s dredging of this Problem Stretch, which, for the time being at least, seems not such a Problem Stretch.

      BTW…on the north-bound transit, came through Hell Gate (GA) last week at dead low tide. I know it was dredged but I did not expect to see 9’-plus all the way through following the USACE survey route.

      Reminder: It’s Waterbird Nesting Season – Respect Marked Boundaries

      The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is reminding the public that it’s waterbird nesting season. Many Floridians and guests are returning to the state’s beaches to celebrate Memorial Day weekend but this is also a critical time for Florida’s vulnerable wading birds, shorebird and seabird populations. By respectfully sharing our beaches and waterways with these birds, people can help ensure their survival.

      Help us conserve beach nesting birds

      The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is reminding the public that it’s waterbird nesting season. Many Floridians and guests are returning to the state’s beaches to celebrate Memorial Day weekend but this is also a critical time for Florida’s vulnerable wading birds, shorebird and seabird populations. By respectfully sharing our beaches and waterways with these birds, people can help ensure their survival.

      Shorebirds and seabirds, such as snowy plovers and black skimmers, build shallow nests on the ground. Their eggs and chicks are well camouflaged and can easily be missed and even stepped on. Wading birds, such as herons, egrets and pelicans, are also nesting now. They typically nest in mangroves and on tree islands around the state. When people come too close to their nests, they can cause birds to abandon their nesting sites, leaving eggs and chicks vulnerable.

      “Startling birds might not seem like a big deal, but disturbing shorebirds and seabirds can actually be deadly,” said FWC Florida Shorebird Alliance Coordinator, Shea Armstrong. “If a mother bird is forced to leave her nest, her eggs or chicks are left behind where they can be eaten by predators, exposed to the hot sun, or trampled by unsuspecting beachgoers.”  

      Boaters and beachgoers can make a big difference for Florida’s vulnerable nesting shorebirds and seabirds by following these simple guidelines:

      • Keep your distance from birds, on the beach and on the water. If birds become agitated or leave their nests, you are too close. Birds calling out loudly and dive-bombing are signals to back off.
      • Respect posted areas. When possible, stay at least 300 feet from a posted nesting area. Avoid entering areas marked with signs for nesting birds and use designated walkways.
      • Do not enter Critical Wildlife Areas. CWAs are established to give wildlife the space needed for nesting, roosting and foraging, and they are clearly marked with signs or buoys to alert boaters to areas that are closed to public access.
      • Avoid intentionally forcing birds to fly or run. This causes them to use energy needed for nesting, and eggs and chicks may be left vulnerable to the sun’s heat or predators. Teach children to let shorebirds and seabirds rest instead of chasing them, and encourage friends and family to do the same. Shorebirds and seabirds outside of posted areas may be feeding or resting and need to do so without disturbance.
      • It is best to leave pets at home but if you bring them to the beach, keep them leashed and avoid shorebird and seabird nesting areas. Pets are not permitted on most beaches, including state parks, so always check and be respectful of local rules when preparing for a day at the beach.
      • Keep the beach clean and do not feed wildlife. Food scraps attract predators, such as raccoons and crows, which can prey on shorebird eggs and chicks. Litter on beaches can entangle birds and other wildlife.
      • Spread the word. Let your friends and family know how important it is to give shorebirds space and share the message on social media!
      • Report disturbance of nesting birds to the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or by texting Tip@MyFWC.com. You can also report nests that are not posted to our Wildlife Alert Program.

      For more information on how you can help Florida’s shorebirds, go to MyFWC.com/Shorebirds or FLShorebirdAlliance.org.

      More Advice Needed on Air Draft at Wilkerson Creek Bridge, Alligator/Pungo Canal, AICW Statute Mile 126


       View In Chartview

      Our most recent report on clearance at Wilkerson Creek Bridge is from experienced tall-master, Rick Dammeyer. Answers are needed for new questions from John Rahm. If you carry 64ft mast height and have passed under this bridge successfully (or not!?!), please let us hear from you.

      Requesting insight on the Wilkerson Bridge at MM 125.9.
      Are the clearance boards in tact?
      What is the tidal range there?
      Is there anyone close, that I can call, to check the clearance, before I leave Portsmouth?
      Need the phone number of the closest house!
      Thanks in advance. Moving a boat with a 63 foot mast.
      Cheers, Captain John Rahm

      Wondering about the height of the water at the Wilkerson Bridge and whether or not a boat with 64 ft mast will be able to get under the bridge.

        We just passed under this bridge on June 4, 2021 at midtide. Tide board read 64 + barnacles. We require 63.5 and the VHF antenna whipped the top with our passage.

        Reply to Jenelle
      2. Captain Rick Brass -  May 12, 2017 - 7:44 pm

        The nominal air draft at the Wilkerson Bridge is 64 ft. There is negligible lunar tide in this area, but water depths will vary depending on wind speed and direction. Strong westerly or northwesterly winds will lower the water levels by up to 2 ft. Conversely, strong east or southeasterly winds across the Pamlico Sound will raise the water level and reduce bridge clearance.

        Since the water level varies from day to day, the best thing to do is contact an approaching sailboat that has recently passed under the bridge and ask about conditions. If you are southbound, do that when still in the Alligator River, since there is no place to anchor in the Alligator River Cut to wait for a wind shift. If northbound, ask someone in the Belhaven/Dowrey Creek area so you can anchor in the Pungo River anchorage just south of the Wilkerson Bridge, if needed. The folks at Dowrey Creek Marina can also give you information about the current water depths in the area.

        We just passed under this bridge on Friday May 12th without issue. We require 63 1/2′ clearance and had approximately 6″ to spare. Height board showed 64′.

      Bahamas Chatter: Emergency Powers Orders Updates Announced on May 17, 2020

      Explorer Charts - the best charts for the Bahamas and Exumas

      Bahamas Chatter is produced by Explorer Chartbooks, A CRUISERS NET PARTNER, which has long been the standard navigational supplement for enjoyable, informative, and safe cruising through the beautiful Bahamian waters and island visits.

      Bahamas Chatter: Emergency Powers Orders Updates Announced on May 17, 2020
      Emergency Powers Orders Updates Announced on May 17, 2020

      Posted: 19 May 2020 10:54 AM PDT

      On May 17, the Prime Minister announced modifications to the Emergency Powers Orders. Boaters on pleasure craft anchored offshore in Bahamian waters (who have effectively been social distancing for 14 days or longer) are now permitted to go ashore to conduct routine business, while maintaining appropriate social distancing protocols.

      Bimini will be under a complete lockdown from Monday, May 18 at 9:00 p.m. until Saturday, May 30 at midnight.

      The Prime Minister announced the re-opening of normal commercial activity on the following Family Islands: Cat Island, Long Island, Abaco and Andros, as of May 18. Mayaguana, Inagua, Crooked Island, Acklins, Long Cay, Rum Cay and Ragged Island, are open for normal commercial activity as of May 4. Notwithstanding the resumption of commercial activity, weekday curfews and weekend lockdown measures remain in place, as do physical distancing measures and the requirement to wear masks.

      Modifications to the current ban on inter-island travel were also announced. The Ministry of Health has developed protocols to allow individuals presently in The Bahamas but not on one of the above listed Family Islands, to travel to those specific islands. This policy and protocol will require individuals to register with the Ministry of Health by emailing covid19travel@bahamas.gov.bs and submitting to an evaluation by a Ministry of Health-authorized physician. Individuals who are deemed low risk will be issued a COVID-19 Authorization Travel Card which will allow for travel to these specific Family Islands. Individuals may start this registration process on ?May 20.

      Residents of the Family Islands listed which are cleared for commercial activity may travel between those islands by plane or boat without a COVID-19 Travel Authorization Card. Those on the Family Islands cleared for commercial activity may also travel to New Providence and Grand Bahama, however in order to return to their respective islands they must complete the procedures and processes outlined above.

      Except for the new protocol and the Family Islands described above, any other inter-island travel must be pre-approved by the Bahamas’ Civil Aviation Authority.

      Emergency Powers Orders – Travel Restrictions, Curfew and Lockdown Information

      All airports and seaports of The Bahamas remain closed to incoming international flights carrying visitors until at least May 30 (including private airports). In his May 17 national address, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis previewed that the Bahamian government is “looking at a possible opening date for commercial travel on or before July 1st,” but emphasized that it will “only be applied to those islands where the outbreak has been contained” and that these dates can change depending on changing circumstances.

      The 24-hour curfew regulations continue throughout the month of May, with full lockdowns taking place each weekend in May from 9:00 p.m. on Fridays through 5:00 a.m. on Mondays. During the lockdown periods, only hospitals, hotels with guests, law enforcement and essential utility personnel are excepted from these around the clock shutdown restrictions. We urge all U.S. citizens still in The Bahamas and its territorial waters to shelter in place?or stay in your home and yard, on your vessel, or in your lodging during these lockdown periods, until the regular 24-hour curfew regulations resume at 5:00 a.m. on the following Monday.

      Scheduled Commercial Airline Flights to the United States as of 1200 EDT May ?18

      International scheduled commercial flights and private charter flight options, while limited, currently still exist in The Bahamas. All flights require the use of face masks.

      You’re invited! Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2020

      Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary protects Georgia’s special live-bottom wildlife habitat in the Atlantic Ocean and along the southeastern U.S. coast, an area teeming with diversity and an abundance of marine life.

       

      You’re invited to Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2020!

      Tuesday, June 9th 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EDT

      Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary offers shelter to a vast array of wildlife found in the Atlantic Ocean. The diversity and abundance of animals in our warm, southern waters exemplifies the effects of conservation management on the entire web of life. Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW 2020) will focus on the global issue of protecting biodiversity. The breadth of life in our ocean is astounding. Building a sustainable global economy that protects nature is critical to people’s health and well-being.

      CHOW 2020 will be your hub for stimulating discussions. We are planning a full day of activities, including plenaries and concurrent breakout sessions on how science and technology are advancing our understanding of the marine environment, the role of protected areas in conserving biodiversity, and how to engage people as stewards. We value the networking that occurs at CHOW, and we intend to create virtual spaces for those essential connections to continue. We will showcase the amazing work of our partners through a virtual exhibit hall and facilitate social gathering through a closing happy hour. 

      With the accessible virtual format, CHOW 2020 is an opportunity for people from across the U.S. and the globe to come together for a conversation on how we can work together to conserve the variety of life on Earth for the long term health of our communities and the planet. Join the Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Foundation and friends as we chart a sustainable future together.

      Fisherman's Village Marina and Resort, Punta Gorda, FL

      There is always plenty to do around Charlotte Harbor, especially with pandemic restrictions easing. While berthed at Fishermen’s Village Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, you are certain to enjoy visiting Western Florida’s beautiful Charlotte Harbor/Peace River.

      We are currently accepting transits and hours of operation are normal. 7:00am to 5:30pm 7 days a week.

      Thank you!

        There are two operations involved at Fishville for boaters. One is the marina office. The other is the fuel dock.

        The marina office has NEVER been open at 07h00, and is NEVER open past 16h00.

        We have been seasonal residents at Fishville for 11 years. There is a lot to like, but there are some weaknesses. When we departed this season (May 15th, 2020), the fuel dock was on "summer hours:" 08h00 to 16h00.

        Call ahead to be sure whatever facility you need is open at the time you plan to be there.

      Updated Report from Cumberland Island, off GA AICW Statute Mile 711


       View In Chartview

      Our thanks to Fred Braman for this excellent report and chart from Cumberland Island. Cumberland Island National Seashore is a National Park on the east shore of the Waterway’s passage through Cumberland Sound south of Jekyll Island. There are only dinghy docks on the island, which extends over 16 NM from St. Andrew Sound to the Georgia State Line.  The Park’s website is https://www.nps.gov/cuis/index.htm. Anchorages may be restricted by Georgia legislation.

      Just a note that may be of interest. I visited Cumberland Island last week. The island is as delightful as ever. Only open to private boaters who can get there. Dinghy docks are open at Sea Camp anchorage as are rest rooms and showers in the camping area. No ferries are operating and tour boats are prohibited. The Ranger Station is closed as are attractions like the Ice House Museum and Plum Orchard tours. But the beaches and trails are open, mostly why we go to this delightful place anyway. Happy to answer emailed questions at  fredbraman@hotmail.com. 

      Here is a chart for the Cumberland Sea Camp anchorage. Note that on older chart packs and chart plotters (like mine), Red 34 is Red 40. This series of markers were renumbered years ago. As soon as you turn inside Red 34, look for a shoal marker to port heading in. It marks a sandbar that comes off the tip of the island to the north. Once you spot it, give it plenty of room to port and pick up the first dock complex on shore near a little white building. That’s Dungeness Dock. Head right for it and once near it, follow the shore up to Sea Camp. Don’t wander too far from Cumberland’s shore. There is a sandbar to the west of the main anchorage area. If it starts to get too shallow for comfort, turn towards the island where the deep water is. It sounds more complicated than it is. It’s really straight forward. Plenty of room for dozens of boats. I try to anchor a little to the north of Sea Camp Dock where it gets a little shallower. Depths in most places around 18 ft. Hope this helps.

        Recently Cuomo closed all marinas in NY State.

          The governors of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut implemented a common policy about marina access and recreational boating around May 1st. All three states are open and marinas are available, with guidelines for operation, social distancing, etc. See the respective state websites for details, and be sure to call ahead to your target destinations to see what local rules or practices are in effect at specific marinas.

          We've been monitoring this because we have 3 boats in our marina waiting to head north.

        Halifax Harbor in Daytona said they were 'temporarily closed' yesterday, 17 March. No fuel. Didn't ask for the reason.

          Just confirmed on 18 March 2020 at 1255 that Halifax Harbor Marina is open for business as usual – both fuel and transient dockage. Yesterday's short fuel dock closure was a temporary technical/mechanical issue.

      Support the Staniel Cay Community, Exumas, Bahamas

      Welcome to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club, your own paradise in the middle of the beautiful Exumas.

      staniel

      A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, Staniel Cay Yacht Club, a favorite destination for cruisers in the Exumas has always been most accommodating to its visitors. This is your chance to return the support for this fine community through these Care Packages via Makers Air in Fort Lauderdale.

       
      Staniel Cay’s community and the SCYC Staff have always made visitors feel welcomed with warm smiles and open arms. However, today, Staniel Cay is among the many islands who have been closed for preventative measures to protect the community. And although the Exumas have been fortunate to be completely free of COVID-19, they are still feeling the effects of this pandemic. 
       
      So many of you have reached out and asked what you can do to help support them during this time. We are happy to announce that the Staniel Cay Yacht Club in conjunction with Makers Air, is spearheading a Care Package Initiative for the employees of the Staniel Cay Yacht Club and the entire community of Staniel Cay.
       
      We will be procuring and assembling care packages of food and household items at the Makers Air hangar in Fort Lauderdale to be flown to Staniel Cay. Upon arrival, our team will personally deliver each care package to the individual households on the island.
       
      If you are financially able to assist in this difficult time, and so inclined, please show your support by donating to this cause in one of two ways:
       
      1. We will be selling a special, limited edition dri-fit shirt to raise funds for care packages. 100% of profits from the sale of the shirt will go to the cause. Please click the link below to purchase.
      2. If you prefer not to receive a limited edition shirt, follow the link below and make a direct donation to the Care Package fund.
       
       
      We appreciate all of your support in showing Staniel Cay and the staff of SCYC how much they are loved during this time! Our goal is to raise $10,000 which will cover the direct cost of 100 care packages.

      “Motor Pool” in the Bahamas

      Another unprecedented situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Thanks to Greg Allard for sharing.

      This photo appears in today’s Wall Street Journal, with the following caption:

      “Cruise ships idled off the coast of the Great Harbour Cay, Bahamas, as seen by satellite.

      A check of AIS shows the same situation. It’s sad to see the Bahamas become a dumping and storage ground for these ships.

        If you use Marine Traffic or other AIS mapper and pan about the Bahamas and FL, you will see even more. Sad for the trapped crews. I think they are getting bunkered and provisioned occassionally though.

        Cruise ships are not allowed to dump over board. They are equipped to treat sewage water, grey water, etc…

        No fan of cruise ships but these vessels are not placed in a "dumping" ground as the poster suggested.
