gunkholeing

Gee bill

If you keep telling eveyone to come to florida there wont be any gunkholing or sailing for that matter. The best part of a well kept secret is that its a secret.I was depressed to see all my favortie spots hit the sailing magizines. now my favorte spot has 30 boats in it every weekend, the area property owners are pissed and want to ban overnight anchoring!Florida is nice but not what it used to be.

the line that fits it the best....

I've read ...Gunkholing"All gunkholes are anchorages, but not all anchorages are gunkholes. There is a subjective quality in the term "gunkhole" that is not present in any anchorage... A gunkhole is that ideal anchorage of which you dream, protected from stronger winds, surrounded by towering trees with seabirds swooping down to catch the jumping bait fish, and with a good bottom for holding the anchor for as long as you care to stay."Adapted from: Tom Lenfestey, "A Gunkholer's Cruising Guide to Florida's West Coast"Part of the allure of gunkholes is keeping them a secret to protect their alluremy favorite gunkhole.....Ziegler's Cove (near Stamford CT) ..........see what you made me do....now it won't be a "gunkhole" anymore.
