but unsuccessful...Moorings may be an issue for you Larry with your beam. They pack them in pretty tight. Your only choice may be to drop the hook at the entrance of the cove. In terms of going ashore for Dog Duty....you might have a better chance taking a dinghy ride around the corner to Scott's Cove. Way bigger than Zeigler's, but real skinny water at low tide. When you are out there for a day sail in the spring, I would poke my nose in there and take a peak for yourself. I used to hang out there with my 50' Pilothouse with a 16' foot beam, but it was tight. With the right wind the mooring behind me was real close to the swim platform.
