- Depth: 10
- Description:
If you get to the bridge only to find that you can't make it under due to tide, or a train, this is an ok spot to drop the hook. The tide is very strong going each direction.
This should be used only to wait for bridge clearance.
NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109
The owner or operator of a vessel or floating structure may not anchor or moor such that the nearest approach of the anchored or moored vessel or floating structure is:
- Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
- Within 300 feet of a superyacht repair facility. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "superyacht repair facility" means a facility that services or repairs a yacht with a water line of 120 feet or more in length; or
- Within 100 feet outward from the marked boundary of a public mooring field or a lesser distance if approved by the commission upon request of a local government within which the mooring field is located. The commission may adopt rules to implement this subparagraph.

Holding seemed ok, we let out a good amount of chain to make sure.

There is a marina near by but given the location of the anchorage with the swift current it may not be a good choice to get off the boat.
