Plan your course so as to arrive around the west end of the breakwater; a green buoy about 100' out off the end, and a red buoy on the breakwater's end will help you; there is also a pair of range marks on the shore to guide you in.
Turn to starboard around the rock breakwater, you will pass fish houses and a frozen food facility to port, with a large "ICE" sign atop them. Continue around to port, past the Gate 1 Fuel Dock. Continue back toward shore.
As you near the shore, you will see the BYC dock parallel to the shore and directly in front of the BYC Clubhouse building (Club rooms are on the lower floor, with the restaurant above). Take any available slip not marked "reserved". Keep your boat close to any boat ahead of, or behind it, to allow maximum use of the dock by all desirous of doing so
