Hi Folks. My buddy and I are thinking of entering the Derby and have a couple of questions about the area. !: Are there any accommodation's in Brown's Bay or would we need to the book a room in CR? 2: Do we need to worry about strong currents/rips in the area of Browns & Deepwater (we have a 23 foot trophy)? We fish FC, Nan, Beecher Bay and Barcley all the time so have no experience up north. Thanks in advance for your help. GJ

The currents are pretty minimal that weekend nothing to worry about, CR is 20 min boat ride away if no accommodations in browns bay, best to just call. good luck

Yes best to call the resort, my wife and I stayed there for the first time a couple of weeks and really enjoyed it. You'll want to confirm moorage at the marina as well.
