The Entrance to Double Bayou
The Water Tank and A Reef Marker
Behind make a good range for
entering
Double Bayou.
There is a shoal extending
South from the Small Island north of the Channel.
The channel is 6 to 8 ft deep depending on
tide.
Most groundings happen between Marker 15 and the island.
It's 3nm from Marker 16 to the Anchorage. Take the East Fork. It is
your
first right turn in the Bayou.
There is good water in the bayou all the way .
Deepest water is on the outside of the bayou bends;
cutting the corners can run you aground
Hammerhead's
and Marker 17
These two restaraunts are
side
by side on the north bank of Double Bayou just after you enter.

Pasture Events
The
Double Bayou Pasture is where it all happens. The boats are secured bow
into the bank. Usually the anchor is set on the bank to hold the boat
from drifting back. Lines from the stern or midship cleat are led to
adjacent boats if available, or to a tree, stake, or other stout tie
off on land. This arrangement gets the boats packed in close enough
that people can move between adjacent boats as well as onto the
bank. Dinghy's are popular for exploring the Bayou and moving to
and from the party location.
