Reunion Voyage: Rockhall Anchorage to Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor

Passing ships are a great diversion

Yesterday we left Rockhall very early in the morning to have a long day to make it to Bohemia Bay. The tidal current was with us and we made good time. However the waves were a little steep for most of the day. The wind and wave limit was just barely within our window for tolerance – especially with no protection from the wind and spray on the upper helm.

A fully loaded tug in route

Coming into Bohemia Bay was a treat – it is gorgeous scenery and a natural basin in the base of some hills. The trees are huge and green, the sky is blue and the harbor is very well protected. A family seems to run the place, with about 300 slips – many under cover. They charge only $1 per foot per night, which is a great bargain in this area. Since we will be here at least a week, it will be even less. There is a boatyard here with mechanics and we chose it because it is the home of a recommended canvas maker.

There is a big pool, a boater’s lounge, and a pink pig boat alongside the pier that specializes in selling Bar B Q to visitors and boaters (see photo). Other than that it is like being in a state park. The only negative here is there is no courtesy car or shuttle and there is no grocery store or restaurant for about 10 miles. So give it 4 stars for a Looper recommendation – beautiful scenery for a short stay, kind of isolated for a longer stay.

Today Dennis spent time on cleaning and little projects. I managed to sew for a few hours and now we are watching a beautiful sunset.
