Trixie's landing in Bayville, NJ

it is a phenomenal setup. The water out to where the powerboat on the right side is is only 6" to 2ft depending on tide...further out straight back where the opening is at most at high high tide is chest deep (I am 5'9")...so you can walk your boat in and out no problem. The prevailing SW wind means that basically you sail straight in through the powerboats as seen in picture and come up wind (turn right) and stop your boat within a few feet of your slip.
They have onsite sail and equipment storage, so all you need is to bring the sandwiches and cold drinks. Actually they sell that too.....
NJ gets a bad rep in just about every aspect (mainly north jersey, might as well be a different state). Barnaget Bay has consistently good winds 10-15 SW nearly every day. Most parts of the bay are no more than 8ft. The bay is approx 30 miles long and 1-3 miles wide. The barrier islands have many protected wildlife areas which are great to beach the boat on for some solitude. Excellent crabbing, clamming and fishing. The last 2 years sailed until Halloween without a wet suit, the water is warm....
