[Public-List] Overnight Anchoring on the Magothy North of Gibson Island

[Jonathan Bresler]

Thank you for the recommendations.  These spots look good.  Thursday night
may have stronger winds out of the south. SailFlow shows 13kts sustained
with gusts to 26.  Hoping that Gibson Island will provide a good lee, a
quiet anchorage.

Am I overly hopeful?

Jonathan
