Report Review
Overall we had a great time. Docwa reservations were confirmed promptly. One SNAFU, the Docwa response indicated to hail on VHF 11 on arrival. No one monitors VHF 11. Call on Channel 9. We spent the first night on the outer mooring off the Kennedy compound. We were treated to some fine sailing exhibitions by the classic yachts that were moored there. The anchorage is well protected behind a significant sea wall, but you will roll as the Ferries go by. Second night we took a mooring in Lewis Bay. It has several advantages: the Ferries go slower so less rolling, and the HYC Launch will pick you up and bring you ashore at the club. It’s a short walk from there to town, that is full of great restuarants and shops. The Black Cat was phenomenal! We stopped in for drinks at the HYC bar and were warmly received. All in all a great place to duck in if you are transiting, as we were.
