We all want this…blue skies, clean water and gentle breezes. Remember what it was like before the floods?

Good times. Boat are moving and the coast is clear. Safe boating everyone.

The far North Coast has copped it again and we are getting more flood waters at the marina. These pictures are at high tide this morning. More flood waters will come down the river from Grafton over the next 24 hours. All the boats in the marina are safe HOWEVER we recommend all owners check on board for any rain water. Be safe on the water – and on the roads!

 

It’s now over a week since the floods around Yamba dropped to below minor levels. It is our pleasure to report that Yamba Marina survived this massive weather event unscathed. As the marina is in a protected boat harbour we were not affected at all by the huge amount of debris that came washing down the Clarence River. Whole fence lines, huge water tanks and tons and tons of timber created havoc along the banks of the river but the marina did not get affected at all. The water levels were the highest we have seen but the marina structure still had plenty of clearance for extra water rises. All our boats are OK but we still would like owners who have not checked down below to get on board to look for leaks and pooling water. Be safe if you go out on the river…there are plenty of obstacles still about and many of the channel markers have moved or been destroyed, Be safe

The rain continues to hammer down on the far north coast. The ground is soaked and the huge water flows in the major rivers are a sight to see. It is going to take days for the waters to drop so we all must be patient. If you have a boat at Yamba Marina we’d like to ask that you come and check on it when you can. The BOM is predicting things will lighten in the next 12 hours so if you can visit your boat please do so.

Just had a huge blow go through Yamba. Gusts to over 50kmh. Now thunder and lightning!!!! Hold on tight…..
