description
Easy anchorage at exit of S. Detroit River discharge into Lake Erie. Lots of weeds. Easy to watch the freighters coming and going. They suprisingly leave no wake due to speed at this location. If winds are heavier, there is a channel North of here, NW of the marina on Island. Channel has planty of width. No protection from South wind.
