Bonfire on the Beach

The slipholder Bonfire Party will begin at 8pm in the Herring Bay Pavilion (East Side) on Saturday, June 12. Food and drinks will be provided with live entertainment by the Courtlyn Carr Band.  We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Slipholders: Please present your Resort Membership and Event Pass (pool pass) at the party entrance.

With the combined environmental efforts of slipholders, guests and the grounds and maintenance department, the Terrapins continue to multiply and flourish at Herrington Harbour South.

Diamondback Terrapins are characterized by their diamond shape markings on the top of their shell, webbed feet for swimming and strong claws for climbing.  Diamondbacks can only live and reproduce in unpolluted water and they feed mostly snails, clams, crabs and some marsh plants.

Knot Time – An enjoyable app that has a person tying boater knots while explaining the procedure at the same time.

Anchor Alarm - Drop your anchor, mark your spot and set the alarm in this app.  If your boat position changes while anchored, an alarm will sound.

Wind Meter - This app measures the wind volume through the microphone and converts it to wind speed.

Pandora – Free wireless Internet radio!  This site is freely available through any device with an Internet connection.

The forested edges and tidal marshes provide a perfect habitat for aquatic life within the marina basin. This video was provided to the marina courtesy of George taken October 2009.

The National Wildlife Federation recognized Herrington North and South as Certified Wildlife Habitats in July of 2009.  This environmental stewardship program began in 1973 to assist enthusiasts in learning how to protect the environment and make their habitat attract wildlife.  Over 113,000 individuals, families, schools, hospitals, restaurants, churches, parks and municipalities have taken on the certifiaction challenge.

To become certified you must provide the four basic elements that all wildlife needs:  food, water, cover and places to raise young; and must employ sustainable gardening practices.  Combined, North and South have reforested over 10 acres of land with a variety of native plant and tree species, created 4.5 acres of spartina marshland and placed 500-plus acres of contiguous forested land into perpetual preservation.  To learn more about wildlife certification for your home or business, visit www.nwf.org/habitat or call 800.822.9919.

 

Although your boat’s natural environment is in the water, storing it on land during the winter months has many benefits for your boat as well as for your peace of mind. On land, your boat is not exposed to potential damage from ice and wind; and the bottom will benefit from an extended drying time decreasing the likelihood of osmotic blister damage. An annual dry storage period is also the perfect time to thoroughly inspect all underwater gear and fittings, ensuring that your boat will offer many years of enjoyment.

Herrington Harbour will be in tent C65 during the upcoming Sailboat and Powerboat Show.  We look forward to seeing you there!
