If you anchor here you will probably be met by the landowner. He is very friendly and will likely offer you a tour of his hay bail art and farm. It is worth the trip to meet him. No cell service.

Hold tight to starboard wall coming in, saw nothing less than nine feet. No frills but well protected harbor.

Went straight past turn into marina, anchored in 11'. 3 40' plus boats with plenty of room to swing. Anchor stuck as soon as it hit bottom. Only wind that could cause any waves would be a Northerly and then probably wouldn't be much.

Anchored here for a big blow out of North. Anchored behind a point and had no trouble. Some boat wake from skiers and fishermen but not terrible.

If you ever needed a hurricane hole in North Channel this is it. We'll protected from all winds. Water is deep up to shore in most places so stern anchoring is easy. Plenty of room to anchor and swing also.

Room for lots of boats if everyone stern ties. Small amount of wake from boats traveling Baie Fine. Cove east of island has trail leading to Cason Peak for amazing view of bay.

Good anchorage for all but East wind. If all the way to west end very low boat traffic. Fishings great. Watch for dead heads.

Only room for a couple of large boats on the inside. They are doing a lot of upgrades on the walls, will be nice when all are finished.

Only had one power pedestal working and a large trawler had it. They wanted $3 a foot , too much just to tie to a dock. Went up canal a short way and found a great anchorage.

Great anchorage. We got here after E-20 had closed, looked at the wall and decided to drop hook. 11 to 12 foot in basin, no current, no boat traffic.
