It would depend on how many feet of line would be required to attach his pulley system to shore. Looks like it could take well more than 200 feet to anchor the land end well above the high tide line.

Not a terribly inconvenient amount, but, I think I'd check out south of Beluga.

Somebody at Punta Final on this board probably knows......

Anchoring off shore over sand bar------


I have a lot of 3/8" nylon line, but not that much. :lol:

Besides the anchoring problem, the shallow water and resulting exposure of the bottom, really limits when you can take to the boats and go fishing, as well as returning-----you are at the mercy of the tides.

We used to always camp between the east/west runway and Alphonsina's, just south of the houses. Good deep-water there. (but you deffinitely need 4 wheel drive.)
