How rough is the water around bear island?

We are on the northern tip of Bear. Very windy today but nothing that would stop me from going out in the boat. We have a slip at Shep Browns that is a short trip. Parking on summer weekends can be a problem but you can always find a space up the hill and walk down.

That house on 143 Bear has great views but will be a longer trip from a marina. The west side of the island is more protected and easier to access but it doesn't have the views.

The stores in Center Harbor are a nice run by boat.

The island has a lot of history and miles of private trails to walk or run on. We have a moose and lots of dear this summer.
