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 is very busy on the waterfront and berths at the marina are scarce. Please call in advance if you are seeking a berth for one day or one week or one month!. You can also book via the website at www.yambamarina.com.au Moorings are also heavily committed so plenty of notice is required.
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
Water levels continue to be high at the marina…..this morning still around 600mm above the predicted tide. Boats are floating almost at road level.
