I'm not sure what you refer to as Rum Cove, but there IS a wonderful cove on the north side of the AC Inlet, across from the State marina. the charts say that there is a 2' bar crossing it but there is a channel. My 36' boat with a 5'6" draft slipped in without touching bottom. There are private marks to help guide you. We arrived after dark and our friends help guide us in by saying "take a right after the red taillights on the beach - woops, the truck left." Pickup trucks often drive onto the beach there. No matter, we got in fine. The marks are slightly reflective, if you shine your flashlight in just the right place! It was a neat place to anchor. Safer than on the windward side of the bridge where I saw a boat anchored in the morning! Good luck and have a great trip. Tod
