Anchoring in Lorain?

[gettinthere]

Is there room in the Lorain Ohio harbor to anchor? Looks like there is some room to the NW of spitzer marina

Up inside the NE corner is 10-11 foot of water. As long as you are out of the channel I would assume it is OK, if not pull into Spitzer marina.

I've seen the chart and I noticed the space outside the inner breakwall. I was asking about the space inside the inner breakwall next to spitzers docks

I understood the area you were considering but since it is NOT designated an anchorage and the Coasties are just up the river by the Lorain YC you may get hassled. A nearby marina my be the only option. Call the Lorain Coast Guard and ask.

42' sail

unless I'm blocking a fairway or too close to a security zone, I don't see why the coasties would hassle me

Do you need any crew?
