      Praise for Cove Anchorage, GIWW MM 36.5


       View In Chartview

      Cove Anchorage is found on the waters of the large cove indenting the Waterway’s northeastern banks at unlighted daybeacon #35. Our thanks to James Aughton for this review.

      This anchorage is near perfect, in the middle of a No Wake zone and well protected from winds. Unfortunately, this is not a great location during the hot, humid Florida summers. And don’t leave the hatch open after sunset, the no-seeums will eat you up. End of roadway just to the south is a good dinghy landing and short walk east to Publix grocery store.

      Good Review of Englewood Anchorage, GIWW MM 44.5, Englewood, FL


       View In Chartview

      Englewood Anchorage lies east of the Western Florida ICW, north of marker #25. Don’t confuse this anchor down spot with the Englewood Beach Anchorage while is located west of the ICW’s track. Our thanks to James Aughton for this review.

      Good summer anchorage, usually a good breeze and few bugs as you can anchor away from shore. Adjacent to county park with beach and boat ramp/docks for landing. One mile walk to east is Grocery & Drug store.

      “Working at a homeless cold weather shelter on Christmas night is a unique and wonderful thing,” said Lauren Wolf, who coordinates the program with Cliff Smith. “This is neighbors helping neighbors and is the ultimate expression of the Christmas spirit.”
       
      This giving spirit is present year-round for the volunteers, organizers and faith-based and community centers who open their doors to serve our houseless neighbors. However, this year is especially challenging due to COVID-19. Fewer volunteers are able to help, while more are required for temperature checks and distribution of face masks and sanitizer. With the number of homeless residents on the rise, social distancing requiring more physical space, and cleaning and safety protocols, covering basic expenses has become an even bigger challenge.
       
      “We are grateful to a community that is always willing to support those in need,” said the program’s co-coordinator Cliff Smith. “At this time when all faiths come together during a season of giving, we are hoping for continued support and assistance to continue helping our most vulnerable individuals.”

      More on Anchoring in Georgia’s Shellfish Harvest Areas

      Our thanks to Ted Arisaka and Robert Sherer for their efforts to clarify Georgia’s restrictive anchorage regulations.
       
      Robert Sherer, aka Bob423, asked me to overlay his long ICW tracks on a map showing the most recent Georgia anchoring restrictions as a result of the revised shellfish harvest areas.  The easiest way for me to do this was in Google Earth, from which I took screen captures.  They are in the following photo album.  They go North to South, Bob’s track shows in magenta.  The anchorages that are outside of the harvest areas are shown in yellow.  The anchorages that are inside the areas (prohibited) shown in red.
