Spot Details

parking at gilgo. very good in north winds. not bad in south winds either once past wind shadow. wind shadow in most condiitions extends about half way to channel. plenty of shallow water on otherside of channel. launch spot good at lower tides at high tides launch can get a bit tricky sometimes needing a water or marsh launch and landing.
