I have a 20' cuddy cabin. It is a deep v and handles waves well... not too big when trying to land in the wind.

There is no access for non-property owners, the entire island is private.

The picture I posted was from early November when we got stuck out there. Those waves persisted for 4 days. Back then I have a 17.5' bowrider and did not feel safe taking it out after a wave once came over the front of the bow and soaked us and the engine cut out. I did not wish to repeat that. Usually the wind only lasts a day or two... just depends on the year. Some years there is very little big wind, like this year.

Access to the lake is the biggest problem with buying island property. Many people rent slips in various locations such as W. Alton Marina, others own slips in other marinas.

I hope this helps
