Moorage
Reserve your moorage at: http://telegraphharbour.com/ [3]. Be sure to indicate that you are with the BCA Rendezvous. Reserve early to avoid being put on a waiting list. Please note:
- There is very limited anchorage available in Telegraph Harbour.
- Access from the large Clam Bay anchorage is restricted, due to inadequate depth in “The Cut” during the lower part of each tide.
- If all available dock space at Telegraph Harbour Marina is taken, try Thetis Island Marina, a short dinghy ride away.
