      Bahamas Chatter: Many More Boat Thefts in Georgetown
      Many More Boat Thefts in Georgetown
      Posted: 02 May 2016 03:50 AM PDT
      This weekend was the Family Island Regatta in Georgetown. Two dinghy with outboards were stolen off the back of cruising bots anchored off of Chat & Chill. A working skiff with outboard was also stolen off of the back of a Long Island boat that was in Georgetown for the Regatta.

      These are not the only thefts in the past several months. Boats from cruising inflatable dinghy to much larger boats with dual large outboards are being stolen.

      The police have done nothing about any of the thefts and do not seem interested in pursuing any of the cases. If you talk to many of the locals on the island they seem to know who is responsible so the police probably know also.

      Those boats staying in Georgetown are resorting to hauling their boats out of the water at night and other methods. However at least 2 boats that were chained have had the chains cut in order to steal the boats & outboards

        We just left George Town and we heard about the Long Island skiff. We did not hear about the dinghies. Nothing was said about the thefts on the morning net. Why was that?

    • Praise for Marineland Marina, AICW Statute Mile 796


      The Town of Marineland has opened its ports with a brand new marina facility creating a destination for boaters on the Intracoastal Waterway between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, FL.

      Good reports keep pouring in for SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, Marineland Marina which lies south – southeast of AICW marker #87, along the Waterway’s eastern shore. Still Clueless is definitely not clueless about Marineland Marina!

      Had a wonderful stay here, once again! Eric and his staff are awesome 🙂 They go out of their way to ensure you, and your boat are comfortable! Super clean marina, and waters thanks to their efforts.
      Thanks again for a nice stay 🙂

    • Calm Night in Veterans Hospital Anchorage, Boca Ciega Bay, GICW Statute Mile 122


      The Veterans Hospital Anchorage lies in northern Boca Ciega Bay northeast of the ICW’s flashing daybeacon #6 between Tampa and Clearwater.

      We anchored here last night and it was beautiful and calm. Lots of room but wide open to southerly breezes. Can be busy on weekends and wave action since it’s in a wake zone and close to Johns Pass, which is a popular inlet for fishing in the gulf. Close to a bridge so there is some traffic noise but not bad. It was super calm last night which made this a perfect place to drop the hook. We didn’t drop the dinghy to explore but did hear about the dock and McDonalds and shopping nearby.

    • Good Words for SSECN’s New Mobile App

      How nice it is to call attention to the work of one of our SSECN Team member, Curtis Hoff, of Sea Doc Software, who designed SSECN’s new mobile app. Comments and reviews, such as the one by Ben Ellison on PANBO in the link below, are extolling the many positive strengths of the new app. If you haven’t yet downloaded the app, give it a try, you’ll like it!

      While the Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net website has long offered a vast trove of ICW cruising info that’s edited by obviously caring professionals, the ambitious-yet-free SSECN iOS app may display all the info even better (especially on a fast iPad). Click Here for more.

        Plans are to do our best to have for the Fall-Winter cruising season. Apps require an inordinate amount of time to develop. Thanks for asking.
