Hello River Cruise Ticket Holders,
The date has been set for November 9th at 2:45 arrival time and departure time is 3:00
We appreciate the patience shown by our guests as we have worked thru several severe weather events, including two hurricanes! Finally, we are able to reschedule this River Cruise for Saturday, November 9th @ 3:00 PM. Since our cruise includes a sunset, the earlier time is necessary.
Just a quick recap of what to expect. Amelia River Cruises is at the City Dock (Center St) on the North side of Bretts. Please arrive on Saturday (11/9) by 2:45 at the latest. We will leave the dock at 3:00. Please allow time to locate downtown parking and please dress accordingly - it is cooler on the water!
​
All tickets will be available at the check in desk. There are no "physical" tickets, just the comprehensive list we produced from ticket sales. All tickets are sold. Now, we keep our fingers crossed for a pleasant evening without rain or wind. Weather decisions will be made by the Captain and communicated by phone and email should it be necessary to move our cruise once again. Fingers crossed!
We look forward to seeing you all for some fun!
As always, thanks for your continued support. It is appreciated!
In November 2023, Rayonier Advanced Materials (RYAM) applied for Permits to produce 7.5 MILLION gallons of Ethanol on the edge of a densely populated part of the City of Fernandina Beach.
Ethanol is highly flammable and carries substantial risk of accidental fires and explosions.
The City of Fernandina Beach (COFB) Comprehensive Plan prohibits chemical or petroleum manufacturing and refining.
No Ethanol Fernandina believes RYAM's permit data is inaccurate and incomplete. In Spring of 2024, we supported a local resident in challenging the draft permit FDEP intended to issue. That challenge ended in Oct 2024 when the Petitioner, facing severe sanctions for legal fees so onerous that neither he nor we could risk, withdrew the Petition.
​
The fight to keep bioethanol production off our Island moves to the City and its defense of our Comprehensive Plan and LDC. More soon.
"Ethanol is highly flammable and carries substantial risk of accidental fires and explosions by producing it within a manufacturing site that already processes large quantities of other hazardous and highly reactive chemicals."
Local resident Medardo Monzon, Chemist
