Cook Creek 2

• Lat / Lon: N 29° 03.198' / W 080° 54.686'
• Depth: 10 feet
• Tide: 2 feet
• Description:

  Locals use this area as an anchorage. Came in at 1/2 falling tide between red 18 and 20. Lowest I saw was 8' and anchored in 10' of water. Anchor held well with 70' out(Mantus 45 and 3/8" G4). The current will hold you in line with the shore. You will turn 180° with tide change so make sure you get a good set or set an alarm for tide changes. There is a bit of wake from local fishing boats but I haven't seen anything crazy. Calms down around nightfall.

  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:

  1. Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
  2. 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
  3. 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.
