came out with the Explorer Charts and electronic navigation came along, now no one has any reservation about leaving (although there are plenty who get there about now and don't leave until April). And you're thinking Hamburger Beach, otherwise known as ... Monument Beach, the larger anchorage at the north end of Eliz Harbour on the Stocking Island side. Going south, the larger anchorages would then be Volleyball Beach where the ChatNChill is, and then Sand Dollar Beach. Cheers, John
