Figure Eight Island

  • Mile Marker: 278.0
  • Lat / Lon: N 34° 16.439' / W 077° 45.234'
  • Depth: 8
  • Tide: 4
  • Description:

    5-21-24 Stern anchor may be required with winds from the north. We had a least 8 ft of water to the anchorage. With strong north winds, it would be difficult to avoid swinging into the channel to the yacht club with proper scope. We were the only boat anchored at the indention on the north shore. We anchored during the week and had several boats from the yacht club pass through. Some were courteous.

    DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.

We didn't try but have heard the property is owned by the yacht club.
