See conversation about The Dark Chute in the listing for the Hurricane Island North Anchorage.

Turn off the channel towards the RDB at the green mark at mm 25.7 and cross the bar at no less than 6.5' np. Across the bar there is over 10' np in either direction with 300' swing room. Consider the wind and current in your decision. Good holding in sandy mud. No cellular service. Dinghy to the Diamond Island launch if shore access is an issue. No cell service.

NP = normal pool.
