  • Bridge comment on Francis Scott Key Bridge - Destroyed

    The Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed this morning after being struck by a container ship. Navigation into Baltimore via the Patapsco River is likely to be impacted.

    The ability to travel under that bridge in daylight hours is critical.

    The marina is fantastic. But the Riverside Cafe nearby plays loud obnoxious music after 11 pm at night that will prevent me from ever visiting again.

    Great marina with many amenities. It has been two years since we visited Belhaven last, and the town has much more now to offer. The ICW Brewery 500 ft away serves up fantastic tasting beer and other beverages. The hardware store 1/2 block down is well stocked, and a grocery store is a quick golf cart ride away. Many restaurants and other food options to choose from. A couple of fun stores to browse are here too.

    The "dollar dock" is a great way to visit Belhaven NC. It has been two years since we visited last, and the town has much more now to offer.

    Anchored overnight just N of R32 and about 50 ft W of ICW channel. Found 7 ft of water immediately outside of ICW channel. No problems overnight. Room for one boat only. No current.

    Reported today on Facebook ICW Cruising Guide that the bridge was closed and would not open due to an issue, with no ETA. We called the bridge operator at 18:05 and he told us the sensor was repaired and the bridge is operational.
