I had heard of this place before but had never been there. It's a surprisingly nice, clean, seemingly secure Little harbor with some nice boats in it. I was over there to help with an inspection of a classic motor vessel and was quite impressed by the place.

One of my favorite spots after sailing to appreciate the sky and relax or have a chat with members of the club.
