    Default Belle isle

    I'm hearing through channels that permits have been obtained to construct a jetty to minimize runoff to entranceway to marina. Anyone else know about the validity of this??

    Dunno about that but I was down there last year and heard something about them having consulted with some engineers about it. I normally stay there 2-3 times a year but haven't at all this year. Can you even get in and out of there now? Last year it got pretty skinny anywhere around low tide.

    A couple of hours on either side of high this summer is about all you got and that was coming in hard with the trim high. They have been talking to the right people though so hopefully something happens.

    Our families go back for hundreds of years, your grandparents owned my grandparents, and that's how it all started.

    They are supposed to fix it... Has been the mantra for the last 4-5 years. They dredged it once but it filled back within the year. The marina has a dredge boat at the dock, but poor management of resources saw that it never got run.

    Hopefully, if they do something, it will be a more permanent fix and they can get some more big boats back in there.

    The latest I heard was that there were studies being done to determine a more permanent or sustainable fix. If they can get it fixed and get the marina, gas docks, and restaurant running again then it should pay for itself. Love going down and love to fish but its a pain in rear when you can't get your boat in and out when you need to.

    Was down yesterday working on my dad's boat trailer, we good high tide and had water to launch but as stated before, it gets skinny quick.


    I hope it happens for the marina and the people/boats down there. The new finger docks and lifts were a great setup for a few years but now it isn't fun having to trailer to South Island to launch, then into town for fuel.
