    Held fine with 100 ft chain on Bruce anchor 7 ft mlw exposed to all but North winds far enough from traffic and close enough to lift bridge to avoid most wakes. If headed south go through the night before to avoid the bridge tender from starting your day out poorly 4 bars for phone no place for dogs or dingy

    Anchored here in 7 ft mlw with 75 ft chain on Bruce anchor. Mild current but holding good in mud and sand. 53 Hatteras and held fine. Ramp close for dogs, phone 3 bars. Looks tight but we had 3 boats here. Bridge however is not no wake zone.

    This is a great hideaway. It was a little skinny getting in but we found 30 feet in the lollipop. We dropped 150 feet of chain with a Bruce anchor on a 53 Hatteras. It was calm all night. Just the bird sounds, cows mooing and that huge alligator keeping us company. Great spot.
