Just curious. I have cruised by a group of boats that tie-up (or anchor) on the bay side of Sandy Hook. They are there almost every weekend. Does anyone know if this is a private party, group cruise, some kind of aquapalooza, a group all from the same marina?? I have been tempteed to cruise up and anchor but want to make sure I am not "crashing" some kind of private gathering.
Also, truth be told, I am nervous about anchoring there as I have never done anything like that before. As a novice boat owner/operator it's something that I would like to do but I am not entirely sure of the requirements:
- do I need two anchors - one for the bow and one for the stern?
- how deep is the water there?
- do I anchor bow in (towards the beach) or stern in?
If anyone knows about this place or has anchored/or joined in this group I would appreciate any info.
Thank you!
