Peck Lake Anchorage (Hobe Sound, Fl)

[felix11]

Anyone wanting to enjoy the great anchorage at Peck Lake, please see attached pic... nothing to enjoy there right now, work is ongoing 24/7, even at Christmas. Saw one brave soul anchored out there, must have had good earplugs.

Used to anchor there . Not anymore, only a small strip of deep (7' or so) water and it gets crowded. Many better spots in Hobe Sound if you need a stop between Vero and Lake Worth.

Any update on Peck Lake anchorage ? is it open ? is the equipment gone?

Was there last week, still full of dredging crap. Think they are dumping sand on the beach. Much better to anchor at mile 1000 or any other spot in Hobe Sound.

Current info on Peck Lake anchorage...
Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Co., LLC will continue dredge operations with Dredge “CAPTAIN AJ FOURNIER” in the channel at St Lucie Inlet and the adjoining impoundment basin to their authorized depths. Material will be loaded into hopper barges and transported approximately 5.5 miles south of the inlet, down the Intracoastal Waterway, to Pecks Lake, where the barge unloader “Bean 20” will be moored.


The dredge material will then be pumped onto the beach through a submerged pipeline. The dredging activities will extend approximately 300 feet eastward and approximately 2,300’ westward from the entrance of the jetties. The dredge will be supported by the crew launch/survey vessel “Cape Elizabeth”. All vessels will monitor VHF channels 13, 16, and use 74 as the working channel. The dredge will operate 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Operations will wrap up on or about 01 May 2014. Mariners are urged to transit at their slowest safe speed to minimize wake and proceed with caution after passing arrangements have been made.
