Hi. We are looking at buying a home in Bellingham, WA that includes a mooring buoy. How can we assess if we could use this instead of a marina for our 34 Nordic Tug? It looks like the buoy is in ~20ft water per Navionics (MLLW?). Can look at tide charts over the year, but those are currently on the boat and not sure how accurate they'll be. The buoy is one among many in the bay. How can we tell how protected the bay is? Wondering about stormy weather. It would be great saving the $$$ on marina fees, but not sure how realistic this is.
