Favorite Anchorages (not rivers)

[Moonstruck]

I will start with one of mine----Still Pond on the upper eastern shore of the Chesapeake.

What time of the day was that? Quite crowdy for mid-week, no?

Between the islands one can find some quiet time.

Top end of Kitkatla Inlet, Porcher Island, north coast BC. Didn't see or hear another boat of any kind for the 2.5 days we were in there;

You will now.

You will now.

Probably not...it's a bit of a time and fuel consuming distance off the Inside Passage, and there are lots of places to hide

Beautiful spot. Haven't been there for years.

Almost bought a home there. Ended up in Rock Hall.

Well, OK. Coves off of rivers can qualify. Go ahead and put up Dog Leg Slough, but the anchorage really should be out of sight of your home marina.

You can count of Larry and Lena to blow us all out of the water. What great tales they have to tell. Awesome!

SD: Thanks. I needed a reminder plus it's hotter than stink here right now.

Angoon Bay....Angoon, AK

Although this is certainly not my boat....it IS my favorite anchorage. Right across from Whalers Cove Lodge where a short dinghy ride gets you one of the best meals anywhere! I've been there 3 times so far and will go there again.

Hang on, I think you should only be allowed a post here accompanied by a photo. For us across the pond a lot of these places are unknown.
