South Side Marina about 2 miles east of Provo.

A very friendly and accomodating place, although limited to about 5
1/2 ft draft on the entrance channel. We stayed there on the way
south and will go back again later this week.




Sad that any so-called cruiser has an umbilical connected to marina after
marina.

We spend over 90% of our time anchored out but recognize that marinas
offer very useful services at times. On our way south we needed
supplies and repairs in the Turks and Caicos, both of which were
greatly facilitated by South Side Marina. They are also an official
port of entry with a customs officer always on call which is a major
convenience.

In the Domican Republic the big marinas also offer assistance with on
site customs and immigration which is particularly helpful when you
are dealing with a language barrier plus a complex and somewhat
corrupt system.
