Good Words for St Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina, St Marys, Georgia, off AICW MM 712
Our thanks to Perry McDonald for forwarding this review by Fred Braman. See New Marina.Hey Cruisers, hello from St Marys, Georgia! I’d like to let you know about a well-kept secret. I’m from just south of Jacksonville and for decades have cruised north to the many great stops along the way: Sisters Creek, Kingsley Plantation, Fernandina Beach, and Cumberland Island to name a few. St. Marys was always on that list, but until recently, dock space was hard to come by due to the destruction of town marina facilities during recent storms. All that has changed with the very recent opening of the St. Marys Intracoastal Gateway Marina, only four km from the AICW/St. Marys River junction. Floating docks, a nice gazebo overlooking the river, and two blocks from the center of a very picturesque and welcoming town, greet visiting boaters. Plenty to do in St. Marys for a few days stay. Check out the Submarine Museum and look over the town from their periscope protruding through the roof. The Cumberland Island Museum is also here as is the ferry to the National Seashore. Trips to the island take about 45 minutes and you can spend the day. You’ll also find lots of boutique shops, eateries and watering holes to keep you busy.The facility is still a work in progress, but the boaters lounge with TV and wifi is nearing completion and a new bath room and shower facility is in the works. A limited facility is available now. For reservations, call or text Dockmaster Collin at 912-540-7230 anytime 8 am to 5 pm daily.Captain Fred Braman, USN(ret)S/V Rhombus

Should I stay or should I go? Captain John Easley
Captain John Easley is a professional, USCG-Licensed 100 ton Master based out of Palmetto, FL. He specializes in training new owners on their boats during the process of delivery to its new home port. He can be reached directly through http://uscgcaptain.johneasley.com/
Should I stay or should I go?
As boaters, we are all subject to the whims of the weather. Sometimes it works well
with our plans. Other times, not so much.
A storm front passed through much of the southeastern United States a few weeks ago.
Considerable damage and tragic loss of life occurred in Tennessee. In the Bradenton,
Florida area, we saw sustained winds of 23 mph and gusts as high as 32 mph Sunday
night.
The next Monday morning was clear and sunny but brought sustained winds of 22 miles
per hour out of the north. The forecast was for four foot seas at six-second intervals on
Tampa Bay.
A client wanted me to bring his catamaran to the boatyard for haul-out Monday morning.
The cat can tolerate running in 4×6 seas on the nose. What concerned me was the 22
mph crosswind while trying to pull into a travel lift haul-out well with only six inches of
clearance on each side. Yeah, you read that right: six inches. That’s a bit tight even in
the best of conditions. During discussion with the owner, we agreed it was better to
reschedule than risk damaging the vessel on the concrete walls of the haul-out well.
Responsible boating occasionally calls for making the tough call to abandon plans and
stay at the dock during unfavorable conditions. Make that tough call. Be responsible.
Don’t be a statistic for the Coast Guard or end up on the evening news. Injuries, or
worse, are not worth a day on the water.
