great spot with NW to N blow of about 15knots. prediction was up to 20k. don't know if it got there because I slept so good.
secluded but pretty open. probably not good if winds are from south/east.
it looks like shore has beach areas for dogs and if I had one, I would be confident that I could get them a good run on shore. although not guaranteed. great holding but muddy anchor and chain this am. saw 7 feet of water minimum all the way to the symbol. didn't risk going any further in.
