    We anchored here in approximately 20' of water. Almost in front of the small creek entrance in the NW corner. There is good protection for most winds, except those with a Southerly component. There didn't seem to be much current in here, even tho' it was very strong in other places. very quiet and scenic. we didn't go ashore, but there is signage to the East of the creek entrance that may preclude landing in the dinghy or taking the dog for a walk there. But the beach to the west of the creek has no signage. only a few miles south to Sag Harbour.
