We have lots of experience in the Center Harbor Area. I would recommend going under black cat bridge to the calm area of Salmon Meadow in a lot of windy weather, it offers a nice area to throw out an anchor or something, and take precautions of the northwest wind, it can be protruding harsh. And remember to take a look at "Becky's Garden" near Black Cat island, it might have a dollhouse if your lucky on it. And avoid the shallows opposite to the bridge on the other side, If seen boats get stuck on them rocks, and there ain't no tide to let you go. And also remember if you are going through Wears Channel, that can be hard with a 25' engine. My family stalled there from some big waves, and almost got hung up on some rocks.

Wish you luck.
