Adding to Tony's Thoughts

There are alot of marks in the channe but it is not difficult at night as yuo'll pick up references to guide you. If I pulled out my chart I could tell you for sure. A trip in is sort of like this after you pass through the railroad bridge you steer to the right of the wreck light then towards the shrimp boats then the IP then the dolphins that the coal barges tie up to then the power lines and the I-110 bridge straight to the next lighted marker and then you see the runway lights and there is the marina. We would watch for the markers not so we knew where to turn but so we did not hit them when we did turn. It really does become second nature to navigate through there even at night.

Keesler Marina

In the marina it is much deeper than 7' I had 10 to 12 feet at my slip. There would be no problem with going in and out of the marina so long as you hook left a bit when exiting. You will want to enter the channel at about a 90 degree angle not head straight out from the marina to hit the channel at about a 45 degree angle. There is a very low spot straight out from the marina entrance. When coming into the marina just wait til the red and green lights are even with the middle of your boat before you make the turn to port. While in the back bay stay in the channel and you'll have no problems at all. It takes about an hour to get around to the Biloxi Small Craft Harbor. Somwhere I have the phone number for the CSX Bridge they were not very good about answering the radio but always answered the phone. You will not have to worry about the Highway 90 Bridge TenderI have that number as well but nobody would be home. My wife just visited with a former coworker who keeps her boat there at Keesler in fact it is the only sailboat on the west side of the marina I can share your email address with her so you can swap info if you would like.

You probably would want to remove it from the site before you become inundated with spam

Rick and Seadance......Question ?????

How come you didnt send e-mail via the "e-mail owner" button on the bottom of your profiles. Just hit the highlighted name above the avitar, that should take you to the profile, look at the bottom and you will see "e-mail" owner. Sorry for being such a stickler, but I am always pushing for more people to sign up and fill out the profiles and use some of the stuff Phil Herring provided us with. I see that you both filled out your profiles, so this is not targeted at you. Thought that others might read this and fill out the profiles. As you can see, not too much excitement here at work this morning, please forgive. Tony B
