Hamilton Harbor

I was out in my boat this weekend and noticed that the permanent channel markers for the entrance to Hamilton Harbor are now in. This must mean that the dredging from the bay into the back of Bayshore park area is complete. This is where the ramp is located for launching and loading trailerable boats.
There is also a "pretty well along building" at the entrance to the little canal feeding the rampp. I have not talked to anyone about this but would assume this would be part of the marina. (maybe the gas dock) I will investigate further and post when I find out.
This marina will make it a lot easier for boats cruising to the Keys to stop, refuel and spend the night. Then get an early start for the 100 mile run to Marathon, Key West or the Tortugas.
