• Description:

  I found this anchorage on Active Captain and thought I'd give it a try since the wind was blowing hard from the south and it (theoretically) should be sheltered. It was sheltered from the wind but not from swells coming in from the channel on the east.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
