However, in the SE corner, where the river enters, we found excellent holding in sand and mud in water about 16 feet deep. A local fisherman instructed us to lie alongside his boat, he wasn't going out that night because of the forecast. The SE gale came and pinned us to the fishing boat, but the protection from any wave action was total. This is a nice facility, which handled 20 visiting yachts that weekend plus their member's boats. The clubhouse has shower and laundry facilities.
Fuel is delivered to the dock by truck and members go out of their way to help visitors.
This completely sheltered facility should be high on the list of places to stop for crew changes, resupplying and certainly as a storm refuge.
