Coming by water to the Lipton
To all folks who are coming into the Bay of St Louis by water. We have been sailing all summer with very few bottom collisions. However, be very careful coming through the bridges. Here is the best advice that I have. Stay in the old channel. When you pass the train bridge look past the car bridgeconstruction for the number 1 channel marker, a big post. Head straight for the number 1 and you should pass through the location of the former draw for the car bridge. Do not turn left to head toward the club until you get close to number 1.
The fringes of the yacht club entrance have not been cleared, looks like trees mostly so proceed straight on in or stay out by the number 2 channel marker which is 200 yards off the end of the front pier.
Good luck. Do not plan on staying in the harbor unless you are a scheduled working boat for the regatta or have made arrangements with the harbor master Tommy Elkins 228 493 4097.
We have a lot of food and fun planned so have a safe trip and a good time all weekend. There will be bagged ice, soft drink and beer sales before each race near the ice machine.
