    • Gulfport Yacht Club Reopens

      So glad to hear that this fine club has reopened its dockage facilities following the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Sounds like the remainder of the city owned Gulfport Small Craft Harbor has, at least so far, not been so lucky.

      I am originally from Gulfport MS and was hoping to side trip there before crossing to FL. The Gulfport Yacht Club just opened a brand new facility last month and they used to have a good size transient dock. The club is located just to the west side of the channel as you enter. The rest of Gulfport yacht basin is waiting to be dredged and rebuilt. I did not know if your club had rescoprocity or not.

    • New Orleans Marinas

      I’m really glad to be able to post the note below, whch I copied off the AGLCA mailing list. We NEED some more info about available marina facilities, or lack thereof, in the regions of the Northern Gulf Coast, decimated by Hurricane Katrina. Additional postings on this type would be MORE THAN WELCOME!

      We came through New Orleans in March of this year. Orleans marina is accepting transients (we stayed there 2 weeks) also they told me that SouthPoint was to open the following week. Oak Harbor on the north side of Pontchartrain is open and accepting transients and have a lot of sllips vaccant I think for permanent. (we stayed there)  Oceans Springs [Mississippi] has a few transients docks. fill up when they have a fishing turny. (we stayed there)

    • Hopeful Cruising Notes – Cat Island (Mississippi Sound) to New Orleans

      It’s awfully good to hear from services are at last returning to this portion of the Northern Gulf coast, devastated almost three years ago by Hurricane Katrina!

      Subject: N.O. West End to Cat Island
      Cruising News: I recently returned from a round trip from New Orleans West End to Smuggler’s Cove at Cat Island. I am happy to report that services are starting to return along the area, and we encountered prompt bridge openings at Highway 11 (Channel 13) and open RR bridges at Highway 11 (Channel 13) and the Rigolets RR (Channel 16). Oak Harbor in Slidell (985-641-1044) has transient slips ($1.15/ft) with clean restrooms and showers. There is fuel Monday through Saturday at Seabrook Marine on the Industrial Canal and every day (5 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at the Rigolets Marina on Geoghegan Canal across from Fort Pike. The approach to Cat Island from the west is little changed since the storm, as far as I could tell. Although the south eastern spit at Smuggler’s cove is now cut in half, the anchorage depth on the southern half was about 8-9 feet and off the mid-northern half was about 4-5 feet.  The beaches were also nice and the trout fishing great.
      Thanks for the great site.
