      Good Words for Jekyll Harbor Marina, AICW Statute Mile 684.5


       View In Chartview

      A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, Jekyll Harbor Marina lies along the easterly banks of the AICW’s passage through Jekyll Creek, immediately south of the 65-foot fixed bridge. Our thanks to Charles Ridley for this review and for the depth report on Jekyll Creek.

      Spent 3-28-17 here. Going south in Jekyll creek at close to low tide was bad- draw 2 1/2′ and kicked mud till just south of bridge. Plenty of water at dock. Docks in good shape, decent wifi, dog friendly, restaurant on site ( many said very good but we not try it.) nice shower, rest rooms. Will plan to stay there again.

      Good Report from New River Inlet/AICW Intersection, Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 247


       View In Chartview

      With reports of groundings and Local Notices re shoaling in this intersection, last dredged in April of 2016, this report and advice from Mike Camarata is positive news. Boaters are reminded that groundings are very possible in the constantly shoaling New River Inlet/AICW Intersection area.

      Yesterday went by the New River Inlet area. I’d say stay away from N72B but go very close to DM72. Mid-tide saw 6ft. Much lower near 72B and away from 72.

      Good Report from Browns Inlet/AICW Intersection, Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 237


       View In Chartview

      Thanks to Mike Camarata for this good news for this Problem Spot which was last dredged in November of 2016. However, it is still wise to follow the advice SSECN has been giving for some time: follow the markers and do NOT follow the Magenta Line in this stretch of the ICW!

      Went through the Browns Inlet [AICW intersection], Onslow Beach, NC area today. 3 April at 0800 low tide. DM63 is gone. There are now two cans and one nun. The channel is very straight, wide and deep. Saw 12-14 ft. Again, low tide.

      Harbour Town Yacht Basin Partially Open, AICW Statute Mile 565

      Harbour Town at Hilton Head, with its familiar red-and-white-striped lighthouse, is a fine resort marina with an enormous number of amenities.

      Harbour Town Yacht Basin at Sea Pines Resort has been closed due to damage from Hurricane Matthew. They now can offer fuel sales and a few transient slips with water, but no electricity. Harbour Town Yacht Basin hopes to return to full service in June. Our thanks to George Williams for this report which has been confirmed by phone call.

      This marina is up and running bought gas with boat/us discount for 3.30.9/gal yesterday.

      Bahamas Chatter: Little Farmers Cay update

      Explorer Charts - the best charts for the Bahamas and Exumas

      TY’s Sunset grill has been on our must stop list for a few years. Now that they have built a 120′ dock it’s even easier to stop for lunch and enjoy home made Bahamian cooking.

      The face dock has 5’5 to 6′ depth at MLW, is new and in great shape, more space, although less depth on the main pier behind the face dock.

      Coach and his team always go out of our way for us and our guests, always friendly and helpful. Beer is cold, drinks and food are resonably priced.

      They also sell ice and have excellent free wifi.

      Give it a try!

      Anchoring to the east of Grand Bahama Yacht CLub
      Posted: 01 Apr 2017 04:13 AM PDT
      Well, due to the silting in of the Silver Cove inlet, caused by Hurricane Matthew, many deeper draft boats, leave Ocean Reef Yacht Club, on a high tide, and move over to Lucaya, to anchor till morning, when they leave. Deeper water in that channel, at all times of the tide.

      So, I decided to do the same, and anchored to the east of the GBYC, and not in anyones way. Sitting there, a pontoon boat comes out, and the Bahamian captain asks me, “what are your intentions”. So, I asked back, what do you mean, “what are my intentions”? He then proceeded to tell me that I could not anchor in front of the marina….I have never had this happen to me before…and I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this situation in Lucaya, Grand Bahama.

      I did explain that I would be leaving in the morning, early, but that did not make any difference to him.

      Thank you…DenO

      Great news From the owner of the Berry Islands Club: After a very difficult year of renovation and then Hurricane Matthew, the Berry Islands Club will be operating in two weeks. We will have new mooring lines, a new desalination water unit, re-built dock and are working to put wi-fi in place. We are also expanding our solar system. Petroleum product sales are another month out. We will have great food and a full bar service in two weeks or give us three to be sure.

        Good news! I sure needed them @ Jan. 3-4, 2016 when I spent days hanging on for dear life off their old dock! Made for BIC to escape a storm b/c cruise guides showed it open for business. Ended up dragging around that marly channel. Alone.

      Coast Guard Encourages Boaters to Practice Safe Boating

      GOOD ADVICE!

      March 29, 2017
      U.S. Coast Guard 1st District PA Detachment New York
      Contact: Coast Guard PA Detachment New York
      Office: (212) 514-4291
      After Hours: (917) 703-0983 

      Coast Guard encourages boaters to practice safe boating

       

      NEW YORK – Temperatures are rising all around the state making it a perfect time for mariners to take recreational vessels out on the water. However, before doing so, the Coast Guard is urging all mariners to be well prepared before taking off on that voyage.

      Preparation is key to a safe and enjoyable time on the water. Mariners need to engage in safe boating practices to ensure a successful trip for themselves as well as everyone else on the water.  

      “Each year with warmer weather, hundreds of area residents take to the water to enjoy a day of recreational boating,” said Captain Thomas Morkan, deputy commander, Sector New York. “Unfortunately, many will depart unprepared for the emergencies that could happen on a vessel. Boaters should take nothing for granted, remember that conditions can literally change within the blink of an eye and never leave the safety of shore without the proper equipment and planning. Doing so could save your or a family member’s life.”

      One way to prepare one’s self before getting underway is to take a boating safety course offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which can develop a mariner’s skill and improve safe boating practices. The Coast Guard Auxiliary also offers free vessel safety checks, which are intended to identify deficiencies prior to getting underway and ensure that vessels meet all federal safety regulations. Items that are required both by state and federal laws include:

      • Life jackets for everyone on board;
      • Registration and numbering;
      • Navigation lights;
      • Venitlation;
      • Fire Extinguishers;
      • Distress signals such as flares, horn, etc;
      • Battery cover and connection.

      For more information about Auxiliary boating safety course descriptions, dates, and locations be sure to check out http://www.cgaux.org/boatinged/class_finder/, and to find out more about Vessel Safety Checks make sure to visit http://cgaux.org/vsc/.
