Really great stop. Quiet night. One nice house on the east side. Dropped anchor at the house and let out 80' of chain. Stuck straight away in weeds with mud. Lots of weeds on the chain the next morning but easy to clean. Highly recommend!

What a great little cove! 24 mph wind gusts from NE and boat hardly moved.

The locals call this cove Sandy Cove. It is a place that they come and anchor for a quite weekend. Also a popular fishing cove. One couple dinghyed over to say hello and welcome to Canada. There are three nesting pair of White Swans living in the cove. Beautiful birds to watch!

The water level this year is 38” above normal and I anchored in 12’ so the charted depths should be correct on a normal year. The anchor (Rocna 33) set immediately in silty sand and grass. Wind protected from all directions except southwest.

Both AT&T and Verizon cell signals were three bars. No WiFi signals.
