    AGLCA discount and cheapest diesel you will find! Everything was delightful! If you rely on Uber to get to West Point (14 mikes, 17 mins) and schedule by making a reservation in the future, make sure address of club is correct. Our morning Uber went somewhere else and wouldn't come get us, so a member of the club drove us and we made our times slot! And they let us down for the 3hr advanced scheduled reservation for 5pm also, (status was "waiting for driver to pick up job"... and then at 5:10 Uber canceled the reservation and sent an apology...) So we offered the money, $50, to one of the school bus guys across from WP and he used his personal car, ( as they closed at 5!!) to take us to the marina! SO HAVE A BACKUP PLAN!

    Like other say, enter from the south at the waterworks bldg and continue straight in, 12-18ft. we anchored between the circular ruin object in the water and the bank.. plenty of water.. Each Amtrac train will blow its horn as it is entering a tunnel till about 11pm.. starts again about 5am, but still a peaceful Anchorage! Didn't feel any wakes! we then went across to Cornwall Yacht Club for a marvelous experience.. AGLCA discount and cheapest gas you will find. They will schedule a truck to bring fuel to the pump out dock, so give them a call to make arrangements

    Sunday Memorial day weekend. Great anchorage! Anchored just S of the point, first shot, 3:1 scope in 15 ft of water. 10 mph breeze fron NW. Marked mooring balls are for Yacht club (stipe), single white ball could not get line more then 2 ft up, covered in mussels and must be wrapped around..?? So we dropped hook north of and then next to demasted sailboat. Room for about 8+ boats. Inlet is wide, deep and well marked! Weekend fishing boats are everywhere and will wake you in the inlet, just be prepared. we came in from the north just outside the jetty, even though we came from the south (Cape May). stay on N side of inlet. occasional commercial fishing boats go by but didn't disturb us. ATT reception good. Beach at the Anchorage just north of us, popular weekend hangout but was empty when we left in the AM, partners must have gone home in the evening. Same conditions leaving the inlet Memorial day 6am, waked by everyone! Best to go fast and get outside..

    Dock was nice. 2 blocks to town. NOTE! GATE to exit/enter LOCKS at closing time (5pm).. Could not find an alternative way out.. Dock is in great condition! Obviously you will hear the traffic in bridge, but settles at night.

    Michelle was great and so was deck hand! First class marina, highly recommend! Clean showers, restaurant, loaner car, short walk to great Mexican restaurant (Agave's). Improvements are underway.
