Let me amplify on my comments concerning the entry channel Warning to Maya Cove. You do have reef and shallow area to both sides of the channel extending out into the bay. Since the outer buoys are completely missing, use the two existing red buoys as a range to define the channel from well out in the bay before committing to an approach line.

We base a sloop in Maya Cove, where Hodges Creek Marina is located. In the last couple of years, four small charter companies have taken up residence and the place is returning to life. The availability of slips is almost non-existent due to the charter companies. The fuel dock is active and the local restaurant, Calamea SP?, is now open as well as Pusser’s, a short dinghy ride or walk from the marina. The restrooms and showers have been totally renovated and are very nice.

A word of caution concerning the marina’s mooring balls as in the past they have been very sketchily maintained. Be advised that with the recent surge of activity, the available space for anchoring has become very limited. Also, be advised that the cove shallows as you move toward Pusser’s. It is a very well protected cove with no swell and a good breeze, limiting the bug activity.
