Make sure you honor channel markers with a bit of a margin - there's shoaling around some of them. Pretty easy to get to the anchorage, and saw no other sailboats over the weekend. You can anchor a good distance from shore to avoid bugs and get breezes. Holding in mud was very good. Strong Verizon signal. Very remote - some houses on shore, but most seem to be summer homes. A few locals on speedboats, but almost no one else. Wind protection from most directions pretty minimal given the size of the anchorage, but lots of room to swing or drag and not be in immediate danger if you're on top of it. Very quiet and pretty. Wasn't clear there was anywhere to walk a pet.
