      An Invitation from Old Port Cove Marinas, North Palm Beach, AICW Statute Mile 1014


       View In Chartview

      A CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, Old Port Cove is located on the western shore of the northern Lake Worth channel, near unlighted daybeacon #7. A great place to spend your winter!

      Ahoy Boaters:

      Season has returned and we are thrilled to be welcoming so many of you back to the beautiful Palm Beaches! While both Old Port Cove and North Palm Beach Marinas are very full, we may have transient dockage available from time to time. Here’s the tip: Call as close to your ETA date as possible. It is very hard for us to know when a boater who has a lease on a slip will be away, that’s the reason.

      With so many events and activities planned for the winter season at Sandpiper’s Cove Restaurant & Bar which is located on site at Old Port Cove Marina, we hope you will join us. In the meantime, Happy Cruising – Happy Holidays! Upcoming Events

      All the best in cruising,

      We are coming up from Puerto Rico on a R&C 46′ cat via Providence Channel and wanted to know where the best place would be to anchor if we need to wow before crossing over to Fort Lauderdale.

      Suggested Route to Cross Gullivan Bay, east of Cape Romano, Gulf Coast


       View In Chartview

      Our thanks to Brian Munroe for this chart displaying his route across this shallow bay. Brian is responding to Brian McMahon’s request for local knowledge on the area.


      This is one of our tracks , our draft is only 4 foot, but the inquiry stated their intent to travel at high tide. We have never tried to travel on the weest side of Coon Key, it is too tight.

        Mr. Munroe,
        Can one travel all the way from Gullivan Bay up to Big Marco Pass via Goodland Bay and the Big Marco River? We draw 3.5 feet.
        Thanks

        Thank you very much for responding. I will enter this into my chart plotter.

      Bahamas Chatter: Turks and Caicos Marinas Report

      Bahamas Chatter: Turks and Caicos Marinas Report
      Turks and Caicos Marinas Report
      Posted: 10 Nov 2017 01:29 PM PST
      We have finally been able to get in touch with the marinas in the Turks and Caicos (mainly Providenciales). Hurricane Irma did some damage but most are recovering and back in operation. Here’s what we found:

      Blue Haven: The floating docks were greatly damaged. There is no power or water on the docks currently. They are able to pump fuel and have limited dockage. There is minor shoaling in the channel and they will pilot boats in. The controlling depth is reported to be 10 feet.

      Caicos Marina and Shipyard: We weren’t able to speak to anyone there because they are still without electricity and phone service. The report we received was that there was unknown damage to the docks, but it is believed that the channel into the marina is still accessible.

      Southside Marina: They fared the best as they were small and better protected. The docks are open. They have electricity and fuel and other normal services. They channel has been re-marked with little change.

      Turtle Cove Marina: They had extensive damage to their docks, but they have over half of their docks are back in service now. They will still pilot yachts into the marina. Channel depth has changed little.

      The waypoints on the charts still mark the proper approach to the channels. We have been told that the routes in have changed little. The area has been receiving several transient boats recently.

      We will continue to update you as we get more information.

        New facilities and docks are outstanding. We really enjoyed exploring Washington Oaks,Gardens State Park, about 2 miles south of the marina.

      Local Knowledge Requested for Gullivan Bay, south of Marco Island


       View In Chartview

      Brian McMahon is requesting local knowledge on passage through Gullivan Bay which lies east of Cape Romano. See Coon Key Pass for a similar request.

      Have same question regarding transiting Gullivan Bay into Goodland. I draw 5′ and based on charts i can make it at high tide. However, looks like there are two potential routes through Gullivan Bay. Anyone have a specific route they think is best?

        I hope you get more recent comments than mine – I’m heading through there in February… at any rate, coming into Goodland I generally start with that little northwesterly bulge in the 6ft line, and head for the Coon Key light; in the past, either side didn’t seem to matter, but I guess I’d favor the west side now. I have NO idea if Hurricane Irma has changed the bottom in any way. We’ve come through there several times in the past with 4 1/2ft draft, in company of boats with slightly deeper draft, and no one has ever hit bottom. But I would time my approach for 1/2 tide and rising. Once you get abeam of Coon Key, there’s plenty of water into Goodland. Good luck! and post the results!
