Maps & Directions

There is no direct public access to the Slick. There is a long private board walk and deck on the Slick which originates on private property of two rental houses. This walkway is not open for public use.

Sensor Notes

The sensor is west of REAL and not actually located at the "Slick". Because it is away from the island, it is a very good indicator of the winds away from turbulence. The sensor overstates wind conditions in the stick by 2-4 knots.
