My reference is to Junk of Pork just outside of Jewell Island

Richmond Island is dicey......almost better approached at low tide. At high, the water can come over the breakwater making for a bit of a roll for a few hours.

You'll want to come in at the only entrance on the north side and find a spot close to the island's northwest shore. There's a spot called Little Cove that fit's one boat that affords the most protection but otherwise just find a spot anwhere along the shoreline 50 yards out from the beach.

Anchor in the green brushed in area in the attached image. The cove is narrow but works. Take note of soundings and tides.
