SOME HAPPY NEWS…..

The teams will now head north ending their journey on the Sunshine Coast next weekend. Travel safe guys…..and well done!!!!!
PLEASE BE AWARE IN THIS DANGEROUS TIME……….
Yamba Marina will continue to operate as normal during this time of heightened health concerns. HOWEVER we ask that everyone visiting the marina obey simple health rules. Wash hands before and after using any marina facilities. Do not visit the marina if you exhibit any signs of flu or flu-like symptoms. We also urge people to observe the practice of “social distancing”…that is, keep a distance of 1.5 metres from other customers when conversing. If we keep Yamba and surrounds covid-19 fee it will mean much needed resources can be applied in other areas of need.
We continue to monitor official health warnings and advice and we will move at any time to meet standards set by the Government and Health Authorities. Be safe and be mindful of others.
BE SAFE and DON’T PANIC
Just a quick word about Caronavirus. As we have shared facilities at the marina, including showers, toilets and laundry machines, we ask that ALL customers observe a high level of personal hygiene and make sure hands are washed before and after using the facilities. If we all play our part things will be OK. If you develop a cough or high temperature contact health authorities (preferably by telephone in the first instance) to get the right advice. THANK YOU.
BIG RAIN…THEN THIS…..
Wonderful world…..nature…..we love you!!!!
GREAT JOB GUYS…..THANK YOU!
The landing barge that did such great work during the Mallacoota fires in Victoria on her way home to Townsville. Great job by the crew on board….Army men and women we should be all very proud of. Thank you guys.
THE WEATHER…….
February has been quite a month so far…..330mm of rain to date compared to the long term average for the month of 157mm. The February temperature so far has averaged 26.9 degrees…long term average 26.7 degrees…. Blue skies now….good time to get work done on your boat. Call Graham to book a lot.
DODGE THE DEBRIS….
The rain might have gone for now…but the Clarence River is chocked with debris from the flood. We’ve seen trees, fences and dead animals floating past. The obstacles remain mostly submerged so BE CAREFULL IN YOUR BOAT.
WHO’D BE A WEATHER MAN……
Weather forecasting is a difficult business. This view is looking north today. So far in 2020 we’ve had 515mm of rain. The long term average for the same period…..297mm. And to think a few weeks ago the skies were full of smoke. A good time to check the bilges….water gets in to boats from very strange places…..
A (good) TIP…….
When you tie up on a mooring (at Yamba Marina) remember the buoy itself is only there to show the position of the mooring and to help you locate the mooring chain. The rope line to the buoy is NOT how you secure your boat….at out place we have strong, serviced mooring chain to do that. Please use the chain. Do not tie up to the buoy rope.
