Guide
Approach and anchoring
Anchoring is prohibited inside the canal itself. Boats wait on either side of the breakwater outside the eastern entrance, in around 22 feet of water, for a fair current through the canal. Sand bottom gives reasonable holding. The canal current runs hard, so time your transit to carry a fair tide.
Practical
Sandwich Marina lies 1.9 miles to the east, about three-quarters of a mile into the canal at the Boat Basin once charted as Harbor of Refuge. It has a fuel dock, showers, chandlery and grocery. Taylor Point Marina is 3.7 miles to the south-west.
