Barcomb’s Marina

/ shellerina
Captain John is a pleasure to do business with. His is the first place you hit if southbound back into the states.
One of four welcome markers.
South Channel (left) and North… well marked.
New docks are being built between our transient slip and the office/ships store/restaurant/bar/pool table/darts/ATM on shore.
Office, facilities, store, etc.
Fuel docks are out here on the end of the pier near large (50ft) transient slips. Note the pump out capabilities here at the transient slips. 50A + 30A and city water available.

Golf carts make the commute into town (0.5 miles) a breeze, as well as traversing the 0.13 mile long pier from office to fuel dock.

New docks are nearly completed on the south side of this pier.
A long floating breakwater to the south is a smart part of the new expanded dock system.
Burlington VT is less than 40 miles away, and there are good anchorages to cut that in half if you’d like. Valcour Island came highly recommended to us for scenic beauty by Cindy and Jim Robert of Knot Sew Easy who are heading north from here. I see there are several choices there for protection from weather coming from any direction.
This 15 sec video shows Knot Sew Easy leaving its slip on time at 0800 to head north into Canada. They were smart. They got out before the nasty weather set in this afternoon!
Evidently Cindy was LATE for this morning’s prompt 8:00am departure time. This time-conscious captain left without her.
But, also being the nice guy that he is, Captain Jim also left her their dinghy, as he knew she could catch up! LOL

Note the two over-sized red and green nav buoys at the entrance to Barcombs… with a very small island in the middle.

Generally, transients will be directed to the south channel.

I gotta talk with Capt John… he has gotta get a big rental PALM TREE for that island. Have it brought in every spring and protected every autumn for winter!

Say Amen!

How many marinas have vacuum pressure gauges at the “business end” verifying the system’s status?
