Marina News November 2022

 

Bayou News – OneWater Marine announced in a press release that it is acquiring Harbor View Marine. “Harbor View is a family-owned and operated business with a marina location in Pensacola, Fla., and a roadside operation in Orange Beach, Ala. The dealership, whose brands include NauticStar, Jeanneau, G3 and Bayliner, has generated around $21 million in the past 12 months. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.” 

Marina Wi-Fi – We have finally installed the new Wi-Fi Ubiquiti system at Island Cove Marinas. The system is a dual frequency network working on common 2.4 G and 5 G frequencies. The 5 G is considerable faster but not everyone is on 5 G yet. The cabling at Yacht Harbor and Palm Harbor will also be installed in the next week or two. We expect to test the system at Island Cove for a couple of more weeks. If all goes well we then install the system at Palm Harbor and Yacht Harbor.

Island Cove Marina –The new Wi-Fi beta test has finally begun. The access code is the same as the existing pass code. The name of the Wi-Fi network is ICMarina Each of the access points have the same name and the network will switch you automatically from access point to access point depending on signal strength. We had to make additional repairs on the holding tank on the out boat pump. The pump is working much faster which helps speed up the process.

Palm Harbor Marina –We will replace the awning roof for the covered area on the docks in the next couple of weeks. We will be pulling cat 7 wires through the docks soon for the new Wi-Fi network. We will also be moving and installing new masts on the docks for the nodes.

Yacht Harbor Marina – We are still going to regrade some of the parking lot to try and eliminate the large puddles that form during heavy rain events. We may need to ask some customers to move vehicles when we start working. We will try and give everyone a heads up prior to starting. We have completed some repairs on the restrooms and have a new outside door to replace the existing one. It will be installed as soon.
