I dock near Fay's. We live on our boat summer weekends. I heard good things about the people docking at Fay's. It looks and feels like an old-time marina. The millfoil in Smith's cove was treated last summer but it grows fast.
Do you plan to day boat or are you overnighting? I heard the showers and bath at Fay's were below average but I've never seen them.
All the other advice is good. If you have a bow rider, I would not cross the Broads on windy days. The good thing about Fay's, is the location. When you leave Smith cove you can travel to the Weirs, Meredith and around the islands even on windy days.
You should have learned the red and black hazard markers in the boating course. If in doubt slow down and follow the chart. There are lots of rocks just outside the markers. If you stay on the good side of the marker you will be fine. It's not as hard as it sounds but you can't cheat the markers.
