It's a great place to tuck in for the night down that way. After Labor day, you usually have it to yourself. Yes, it is tiny though, and not exactly undiscovered. That's why I mentioned "after Labor Day". Bill Ziegler III passed away recently after a life time of serious sail boat racing. His daughter Heidi is married to well known sailmaker and racing helmsman, Steve Benjamin. Port Jeff has a good anchorage near the entrance. it's off to port as you enter and is marked "spoils" on the chart, but there is plenty of water and good holding. You'll often see various semi-organized groups of sailboats from yacht clubs there together in the summer. The crowds should be gone now that school is back in session. Go ashore and enjoy the nice, sandy beach. Climb Mt. Misery (Low and easy) and see the panorama. We usually prefer off to starboard behind the beach, more room and much quieter. It would depend on how much Skip's boat draws. That side is not so popular with the sailboat crowd. Many underwater mounds that are not as much of a problem for power boats. |

In that case, maybe next season I'll give it a try. Didn't make it to PJ once this year. |
