For those headed south on the Great Circle Route listed below is my latest posting to marina changes on the GIWW. Even if this area manages to avoid more hurricanes this season, marina space will be at a premium from about mile 160 to mile 225. Bob Skipper Bob Publications Http://SkipperBob.home.att.net *Gulf Coast ICW (GIWW), Mile 155.1 EHL, New Marina* *NOTE. *A new marina, Homeport Marina (251-968-4528,G,D,P) has opened just east and adjacent to LuLus Restaurant. This upscale marina will help make up some of the slip shortage in this area. After the hurricanes of 2004 the following marinas have closed and will not reopen: Pirates Cove Marina (mile 164.9), Rod N Reel Marina (mile 176.7) and Snug Harbor Boatyard (mile 291.4). In Pensacola, mile 183.0, Seville Harbour is still closed, but hopes to begin rebuilding in early 2006. (August 4, 2005)
