I found a HUGE difference between cruising the East Coast in the early 80's (81-83)

and cruising the same area 2009-2011
Cell phones, online navigation, Google Maps. All the info now available that simply didn't exist back then.
DID manage to anchor in almost the same exact spot in Spa Creek that I anchored in 83, off the park. Weren't any dinghy docks back then:)
