Brunswick Landing Marina, a very popular facility with long term resident cruisers as well as transient cruisers, sits off the direct path of the Waterway, flanking the eastern banks of Academy Creek off Brunswick River, near the heart of downtown Brunswick, Georgia.
The marina is the best in the area, and while the facilities are some of the best on the ICW, the staff – Sherri and Cindy – are the most welcoming and “make you feel at home” people on earth. The marina is well represented by these two young ladies as anyone that has visited will attest to. Without them, it would just be another struggling marina.

Windmill Harbour Marina, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, is located hard by the southwesterly mouth of the Waterway’s passage south down Skull Creek, on the shores of Hilton Head Island, south of marker #27. Our thanks to Bob Miller for these kind words for one of our fine sponsors!
Just wanted to comment on the staff and marina facilities at Windmill Harbour . We kept our 43′ motor yacht there over this past winter (2015-16) and believe there is no better choice in the Hilton Head area. Very professional marina staff and pleasant location. The marina is in a gated community so it is safe and secure, and the marina is protected by a lock system which keeps the water depth constant in the marina. It is home to the South Carolina Yacht Club so many nice boats and activities. They welcome transient boaters as well as those for longer stays. One thing to be aware of is that access to stores and restaurants will require transportation as it is a residential area.

Bahamas Chatter: Spanish wells to Exuma route
Spanish wells to Exuma route
Posted: 10 Apr 2016 02:27 PM PDT
Looks like we may be heading to the Exumas from Harbor island in a week or so.
The direct route from current cay to ship channel cay is tempting, as shown in the explorer chart books but with our 6+ draft I m a little concerned about the shoals just west of Finley cay. The area of coral heads just south can be avoided with a dogleg east, but what are the actual depths crossing the shallows there? Will try to get some tide obviously, schedule permitting.

Law suits are the only answer at this point.
Who will step up?
So the boating people get the bilge again, how stupid is their thinking or should I say how deep are their pockets when it comes to money?

Voyaging canoe Hōkūle‘a is continuing her journey up the East Coast of the mainland. The canoe recently left Titusville, Florida and is traveling along the Intracoastal Waterway, where she’s encountered new wildlife and a whole lot of aloha.
HPR’s Molly Solomon checked in with navigator Bruce Blankenfeld as part of our ongoing coverage Hōkūle‘a: Voyage of Aloha.
Hōkūle‘a’s next stop is Charleston, South Carolina — then it’s on to Virginia and New York in June.

Hokulea approaching Charleston Maritime Center
The crew of Hokulea was greeted by a contingent of native Hawaiians who now live in the Charleston area. The greeting included drumming and conch blowing.
