    Not as protected as the inner harbor. Boat wakes are expected. Longer tender ride dinghy dock access to restaurants, shopping and maritime museum, but all totally doable.

    The main anchorage was a bit windy, so we went right in near the marinas where there is room for a few boats to anchor. The water taxi is the best part of this spot.

    If you wish to explore St. Michaels and the other, more-settled anchorages are full, this is an option. You will be waked. If it's the weekend the waking will be incessant. You will begin to question your choices in life. We anchored here to visit the museum. When we returned to the boat, we bounced around for about 15 minutes before we looked at each other and I said, "Do you think we should go somewhere else for the night?" We weighed anchor and made our way up Leeds Creek where we anchored about 2 miles away from here in a peaceful, flat-calm cove for the night.
