    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.

    We were met at the dock by marina manager Wayne and Ashleigh who helped us secure the boat. They gave us a briefing on the marina, its facilities and details of shopping and eating nearby.
    the location is within a nice walk of Downtown Baltimore.
    we found a nice place for weekday Happy Hour with 75c oysters and cheaper drinks up the road, Lee's Pint and Shell, in Hudson St.
    well worth the walk.
