Safety Tips
Site specific: Submerged rocks, quicky
dying winds, and the best sailing is often a 1/2 mile from the
launch. The western shore opposite the launch is flanked by
very large, shallow mud flats. Do not land on prison grounds,
or you will promptly be escorted off it.
One should always be aware of the
local currents, tides and underwater obstacles.
