Only somewhat protected, and very shallow. The entire town dock was nothing more than a mud flat at low tide and unusable. Courtesy slips at several restaurants were nothing but mud too.

This basin is kind of small and shallow. There's a derelict sailboat taking up space. The town dock was lost in Hurricane Matthew and its not yet rebuilt. We overnight-ed at the FishyFishy Restaurant. Blogging our journey at elizabethkelch.com
