A beautiful spot. I anchored there often when I sailed the Sound but
usually only mid-week. Never had any problems getting in or out but one
day watched an Offshore Sailing School cruiser come in and anchor at
high tide in what I knew was an iffy spot. Six hours later he was hard
aground and over on his side. To give him credit, he looked to all the
world like he had planned it just that way.

The Sand Hole is a water-filled sand pit on Lloydd's Neck at the entrance
to Oyster Bay, Long Island, NY. Inside the Sand Hole there is plenty of
water -- as much as 25 feet at low tide -- so lonmg as one is careful
where one anchors.
