Default Nantucket Pilotage

Armond,

I have sailed around Nantucket since I was a boy, my Dad still lives on the
island. I do not know how much Kerry Deare draws but my boat Pacem draws
about 5.5 feet and that is my frame of reference.

You can only get up to before Five Fingered Point on Coatue before you run
out of water but it gets pretty narrow just past Second Point. You can
anchor anywhere there is water but there is quite a bit of tidal current
filling and draining the head of the harbor so be ready to sit to the
current while the wind is abeam. There is also the problem of access to town
when you are that far up the harbor. The Pocomo and Quaise shores are all
private property.
