This salvage operation has been going on since February 24th. The Fort Pierce inlet will be restricted or closed once again to attempt removal of the sunken barge.

We just wanted to give you a heads up on the Fort Pierce Inlet. The inlet will be closed beginning @ 9AM on Saturday morning for boats that have a draft bigger than 6 foot. All leisure and fishing boats will have no problem getting through.

When in doubt, call SeaTow [or TowboatUS] on CH16 ahead of time. They gave us the green light on March 30th when we were headed to Vero Beach after the Palm Beach Boat Show… when earlier warnings had been issued. No problem.
