As part of a nationwide observance, Fernandina Harbor Marina is celebrating Welcome to the Water on National Marina Day on June 11, 2016. “Welcome to the Water on National Marina Day is a celebration of boating,” said Joe Springer, Marina Manger. “As families search for fun outdoor activities that everyone can enjoy we want to encourage them to give boating a try. Existing boaters are always ready to celebrate with a day on the water, but on this day we ask them to bring a non-boater out to share the experience. We hope you will visit Fernandina Harbor Marina, learn about your boating, and enjoy the events we have planned.”
