Strachan Cay

Location: Long Island
Lat / Lon: N 23° 06.365' / W 074° 56.747'
Depth: 7-10 Feet
Tide: 2.5'-3.5'
Description:
The bulk of Strachan Cay provides good shelter in the event of a cold front. In more settled conditions there is a possibility of a swell building in the afternoon sea breezes but they will usually subside by sunset. The holding is good, but care must be taken to avoid the patches of heavy grass that extend outwards from the cay. There is a small beach on the cay for those with pets or simply wish to stretch their legs after a long sea voyage.
It is a short dinghy ride across the harbour to the government dock where you either tie up or beach your dinghy

Picturesque anchorage that appears well protected from the east, south and west. Open to the north unless you work your way eastward, south of Strachan Cay. Lovely sandy beach on SW Strachan Cay

Clarence Town is NOT a Port of Entry at the Flying Fish Marina.
