Sailing Directions
A ferry operates from a point midway between Burnt Island and Sandy Point, to a terminal on the opposite shore, 0.5 mile NE of McColgan’s point. This is the only ferry on the Saint John River system that is not cable-operated. Approaching RYC Troop Reef is a shoal area extending 0.4 mile from the head of an open bight known as Sandy Beach Cove 1.8 miles NE from Torryburn Point. An isolated spot with a depth of 6ft (1.8m) over rock lies near its outer edge and is marked with a starboard-hand buoy. The entrance to the club is marked with a Fairway Buoy with a green flashing light off Henderson’s Point and a white flashing light on a small skeleton tower on the end of the breakwater. Care must be taken entering the area from the South where Rothesay Rock is marked with a starboard-hand buoy. There are many moorings in this area also. There is an unloading dock situated on the East side of the breakwater.
