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
Everything is OK

Boats at road level
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.
This is a weather event of extremes. Be carefull.
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.
Big Wet
Huge amounts of water continue to fall in Northern NSW. Yamba has seen its share and so far everything is going OK. We would like to ask all owners to check on board their boats when they can to look for any leaks…as you know water will find its way on board anyway it can!!! We are checking that all boats are floating on their lines but it is worth a check on board when you have the time. The Clarence had more than half-a-metre of water above the predicted tide yesterday….
Huge blow on the North Coast…..
Just had a huge blow go through Yamba. Gusts to over 50kmh. Now thunder and lightning!!!! Hold on tight…..
Tidy marina after a busy summer.
Pretty girl heading south
This pretty yacht is on its way to its new home in Tasmania.
Serious High Tide
Tide measuring on the middle wall of the Clarence River at Yamba today showed a high tide of 2.02 metres. The predicted tide was 1.8 metres. That’s a lot of extra water flowing about. Be careful. The next few days will not be great for boating!
New boat christened
Great to see “Outlaw” go into the water for the first time today. A local product made on the banks of the Clarence River. May she have fair winds and smooth seas.
