NOV 9 10 11

Not much to do with this one, we have water and electric on each site - bathrooms hot showers and washer dryers 100ft away - grill at each site although standard State issue -just food and adult beverages - you will need a stern anchor - great place for yakkers as there are many Yak only areas

Fishing- amazing flats fishing availble - Trout Reds and snook
This will be the height of Kingfish season and the hot spot is right there, so bring rods that can handle 2 lb Blue Runners for bait - grouper will also be available that time of year within reasonable distance 10 to 20 miles

I still have 1 campsite available thats not been spoken for right in the middle of the action

See ya soon, Ken

Check their web site, the biggest thing is too many cars but there is extra parking. I think they allow 2 tents per site but its usually too many cars that warrents them to stop by because it blocks the road. Otherwise they are really cool and never bother anybody.

Now that I've got trailer back in shape, I will probably tow over on Friday and just anchor out on the boat. I'm pretty well self-contained with Magma grill, sink, shower, head, bunks, etc, so don't need a campground spot. (Love that Seafari versatility!) I have a canopy I can bring if anyone needs it. The NE end of campground "island" looks fairly well protected except from N-NNE. Is it fairly deep around that island where I could move to south side in case we get a strong N. wind? Also is there a beach around the campsites or a seawall? Had the impression it was a seawall from earlier thread. (Anchorage could get a little rough with waves bouncing off a seawall!) Denny

There is a seawall behind the campsites as long as its not
huricane force winds the cove behind the campsites is wind resistant verry well pretected.

Here's your chance to try out the cabin on that Seafari! It's pretty comfortable but you may need a sleeping bag in November!

eggsuckindog · #9 09-04-2007, 02:36 PM

Bush - no worries on the cove, deep and protected even from the north and NE. We will be there Fri night in any case so you will have access to tie off at the seawall for the bathrooms.

Tom and I should be there for this one as well. We will stay on the boat again. I do not think my 27 will be there though, added more to the project at the fiberglass shop. We will be in the yellow Pursuit again.
