marinheiro 352 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 After 10 years of hard toil the marina is completed with the official opening held last weekend. All berths were sold and there is already a waiting list. Fantastic addition to the area and a popular destination for evening strollers. One little surprise has been the tidal flow, quite strong thru the outer berths at mid tide - there have been a few "interesting" landings already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,587 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Now let's wait and see if /how quickly it silts up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 and why would that happen BP? I remember there was a long thread on this way back. The only time there is a large silt load in the water is when there is a major rain event, such as last week. This occurs a few times a year at most and it is mitigated by the strong water flow - the focus should be on reducing farm runoff. The normal incoming tide water is very clear, unlike say Westpark (or Pine Harbour) which has a silting event on every incoming tide. The wharf at the yacht club has been there over 15 yrs and has never had to be dredged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,587 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Not my field, but as you say there was a lot of discussion. We now have the ultimate real life test, let's watch and see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
