Part II:
Index to Anchorages by Chart 16700

HOME




Note: Many of the local names of anchorages described in Part II do not occur on the NOAA charts. In each new edition of the Cruising Guide, we have added new names to the preceding charts. In all cases, the text contains a verbal description.
Anchorages are organized by cruising areas so that boaters can see the options available. The cruising areas and towns are capitalized. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of anchorages described for that site. The charts split some areas. When an anchorage occurs on a different chart it is noted in parentheses.( )
You may enjoy spending some time comparing these charts which are from the 1984 edition of Chart 16700. Until 1998-1999, Chart 16700 was the only chart available for the northern Sound. NOAAs new charts will help mariners have safer and more enjoyable adventures exploring these newly charted areas. We have updated the sketches to reflect NOAAs most recent charts and indicated the appropriate chart number on each sketch.
