My charts don't show but 2 buoys just before going into the narrows and nothing to guide you out the other side. Looked a little hairy.
Yep, the one north of Purdy Point and east of Holland Point. If that one is full keep going around Purdy Point to that cove.

You won't have a problem navigating the way to and around the northern tip of Gibson Island. Go through those 2 markers at Magothy Narrows and there's plenty of water beyond -- just stay in the middle of the channel until you get to the cove you want. I brave going there with my WINGED KEEL (MITCH --YOU'RE GONNA DIE IF YOU GO AGROUND WITH THAT WING!!!) I'm still alive and well. Or go into one of the many creeks branching off the Magothy. It's one of my favorite places to go, and it's also close to where I sail out of off the Patapsco.
