Vegetation only is about chest high, so little wind protection.<br /><br /> I'll try and photograph where I can get close to the island. Small cove on South side. "Alert" has less than 2' draft, but I have skirted bottom a few times in that vicinity.<br /><br />An alternate for anchorage might be on Mitchell Creek, which is just past my marina. Lots of trees and developed lots to block wind.<br /><br />A couple dozen Folks parked their boats there from the marina when Hurricane Irene raised the water level 12 feet. No boats lost anchorage.<br /><br />Just lookin' out for you. I think I still have your e-mail address.

hurricanes will do that to you.
Visiting...Buck,<br /><br />hurricanes will do that to you. <br /><br />Visiting Great Island, which I know is not a great island, has been on my list for while. If wind and weather cooperate I may, or may not swing by there for an evening. We'll see.<br /><br />steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-30230205135679096412012-02-02T23:02:54.442-05:002012-02-02T23:02:54.442-05:00Sounds like you're ready to join up with my ou...Sounds like you're ready to join up with my outfit, now that I'm retired. Its the "Firm of Loafmore & Do-Less".<br /><br />Your route on the Neuse River trip is hittin' mighty close to home. That little "switchback" west of Adams Creek is just about near the mouth of Clubfoot Creek, where "Alert" is stationed at Matthews Point Marina.<br /><br />I still want to head back to Turnagain Bay and head for Morris Marina for one of them there shrimpburgers that makes them be famous.<br /><br />Got waylaid by Hurricane Irene last time. There doesn't seem to be enough reefs in any mainsail for that kind of wind.<br /><br />Good thing I hauled the boat home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-36803279762584400272012-01-30T13:35:02.192-05:002012-01-30T13:35:02.192-05:00I start "thinking" in December, "dr...I start "thinking" in December, "dreaming" in January.
