When we were here the water level was down about two feet, and there was an exposed sand bar from Long Point to Long Point Island giving better than normal wind and wave protection from most directions except the north. Boats entering and exiting The Gut can give a lot of wake action. There were nine sailboats when we arrived with room for plenty more.
