Report from Harbortown Marina, Merritt Island, east of AICW Statute Mile 894
A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, Harbortown Marina lies off the southern shores of the Canaveral Barge Canal between Sykes Creek and the Banana River.
9-12-17:Greetings from Harbortown Marina Canaveral. The majority of our team is on site today and we are working diligently to get the marina put back together and customer ready. As it stands now, we plan to officially open the office and the boat yard on Wednesday at noon.
Today we are focused on replacing damaged and missing dock boards to ensure our customers and team members are safe. We will then move onto collecting debris and addressing any downed trees around the property.
In the slips we only saw one boat with substantial damage and we are reaching out to the owner personally. In the rack storage we saw some boat covers that were damaged and we will also be contacting those owners as well. All in all though, there was limited damage to the vessels.
We have power in the main building but due to the water levels, power to the slips is still off. Unfortunately, we have no running water at the marina. We are hearing this is a part of an outage affecting more than 82,000 Brevard residents.
The port is still closed as of now but we have heard it may open up this evening. The barge canal is actually port property, so it is officially closed right now as well. We are certainly hoping that the port traffic will lead to the water levels receding quicker.
Once again, please continue to follow our social media pages for continual updates. We promise to provide you with updated information as it comes.Click Here To View the Eastern Florida Cruisers’ Net Marina Directory Listing For Harbortown Marina

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.
Harbour Town Yacht Basin fared well through the flood and wind of T.S. Irma. We reopened today Wednesday, September 13th and our docks are secure, power is on and we do have limited fuel. Hopefully the fuel supplies will be back to normal soon. We are open and ready for boaters!
Thank you,
Nancy

Needed to be rebuilt anyway. Without loss of life this might be a blessing if the city rebuilds .
