        What are the requirements if arriving by boat. Consider the fact that it could take 4-5 days Jacksonville, FL to the Bahamas on the ocean or you could blow a 3 day test waiting for an appropriate weather window to leave FTL or , WPB or MIA and cross to the West End or Bimini.

        One of Georgia's gems! Sandy beach by the north entrance at low tide. Beautiful sunset over the marsh to the west. Good protection. From the wind E thru SSE. Good holding, ground tackle comes up clean.

        In tandem with pollution, jet skis are wreaking havoc. These can easily go over 50 mph. Neither manatees, human swimmers, nor birds have a chance against them. Jet skis are highly unsafe, noisy, pollute, and, for all the above, need to be illegal on public waterways.

        This situation occurred several years ago when the Save the Manatee Club made its big push. The ideal is super, but the reality is not. Yes, they are large docile creatures that have a place in Florida. However, when steps are taken to increase their numbers above and beyond what the natural food supply will support, the situation that we have now takes place. Mess with Mother Nature, and you create a second problem. I guess it is a steep learning curve.

      Cape Lookout Certified as Dark Sky Place


       View In Chartview

      Cape Lookout National Seashore has been certified as a Dark Sky Place, the first in the National Park Service on the Atlantic coast to receive this certification. The popular Cape Lookout Bight anchorage is practically in the shadow of Cape Lookout Lighthouse. In rough offshore weather, cruisers with shallow draft  may choose to access the anchorage via Taylor Creek and Barden Inlet which separates Shackleford Banks and Core Banks. See Dark Sky Park.
