ROTHESAY is directly opposite the brooding cliffs on Long Island known as the Ministers Face. Kennebecasis Bay tends to the north here, and Rothesay Cove is tucked into the east shore, filled with the fleet of the Rothesay Yacht Club. The town of Rothesay is nearby.

Anchorages, Moorings. Anchor among or outside the moored boats in 10 to 15 feet of water. There might be temporary dock space along the club float, to the left of the concrete public wharf, or a member might direct you to a vacant mooring. The unpleasant- sounding sewage lagoon shown on the chart at the head of the cove is not at all noticeable in the harbor. Protection is good from the east, but both southerlies and northerlies will find their way in, and westerlies make themselves right at home.

For the Boat. Rothesay Yacht Club (506-847-7245) has no guest moorings or any facilities for visiting yachtsmen other than its small clubhouse and their pump-outs. They are somewhat off the beaten path of long-distance cruisers heading upriver, so visitors are welcomed with open arms. You will find no end of help and hospitality here. Ice, water, and power are available.

For the Crew. The town of Rothesay, which has a market, banks, and a post office, is less than a mile away—a pleasant walk.
