It’s a well maintained mooring about a mile from the marina and any provisions. All was well until about 19:30 when there was the distinct report of a 12 gauge shotgun four times in a row with what sounded like light bird load landing near us after each report. No damage detected in the morning, but clearly some folks in the encampment wanted to express their displeasure at a visitor paying $40 for the only transient mooring offered by the HarborMaster. We anchored farther away the next night.
Mooring was well maintained and labeled. This mooring is near the sandy neck village and a beautiful remote location.
