Stella Bay Stella Bay has an average depth 20 feet This is a quiet place and one will be welcome if one asks permission before going ashore, and not departing too late. A Ferry Dock on Stella Point separates Stella Bay from Wrights Bay. Glen's General Store in Stella has basic supplies and is open 7 days a week in season or you might wish to try the Back Kitchen, recommended by the local resident, in Stella if you want to eat out. Immediatly to the west of the ferry dock is the small Wrights Bay. which is close to the shore road and town but with limited room. If you have deeper draft and require a bit more swing room you may choose to steer west to the north of the penensula identified by the destinctive farm and its sillos and enter Kerr Bay. On the south west shore your options are limited and the overall landscape quite deserted.Long Point Bay is entered between Emeric Point and Nut Island. In all but S or SW winds it is a good anchorage offering a sand or mud bottom for holding. From Emeric Point passing inside Nut Island to Wemps Point there is a deeper anchorage in Amherst Bay with limited protection from Nut Island.Depths vary from 8 to 19 feet. However this location is exposed to southerly weather and the shoreline offers almost no habitation and a shingle beach. There is a Public wharf on Long Point Bays east side with a 151 foot long log structure. The bay depth decreases from 12' for roughly the first 60' to a minimum of 4' . We recommend that you anchor mid bay, as rocks line the shore and mud and sand form the bottom.Long Point Bay is between Nut Island and Emeric Point on the south shore of Amherst Island. The eastern side of the bay has a dock used by Emeric Point fishermen. Although you may be allowed to tie up here, it will be on the understanding that you may have to move whenever fish are being unloaded . |
