Anchoring in the Thimbles can pose a challange. The only anchorage is
between Pot and High island and the bottom is loose to heavy mud.
Carry two different anchors. If a Danforth won't set, a Bruce, CQR, or
Delta will.

Here's a suggestion. Make a slip reservation at the Pine Orchard Yacht
Club, a combination Yacht, Tennis , Golf club with the worlds finest
showers. Dinghy through the Thimbles to your hearts content, and take
a taxi to Lenny's in Branford for a great meal.

Where are you cruising to?

We're thinking about going to the Thimble Islands, but the plan is just to take
the Con. side as far as we care to and just relax and swim. We're hoping
there's not excessive heat or rain for a change. Yesterday was great weather,
even during the rain...plenty of wind. I had a sailmaker from Doyle on board
(friend of mine) and we had a pleasant little sail. He came along when he saw
that I had a few women on board, rather than the usual youngsters.
