RE: Your idea of a perfect Anchorage?

Cruising up in New England, we anchor out a lot.* Here's my list in ascending order of importance:

4.* Potentially good fishing from onboard or kayak.

3.* Good holding ground and shelter from strong prevailing wind.

2.* While number of anchored boats not a major issue, as long as we can swing clear of each other, we do place limits on loud radios, crowds, generators, and dinghies running around the anchorage.

1.* Easy access to shore for 2 daily relief trips for our 15 pound terrier.* It's unbelievable that this is #1, but that's the way it is.* If access gets you to town for provisions, walking or bike riding, that's a plus.
