Tried to anchor here at low tide and could not get enough death to be comfortable without being in the channel.
Moved to a deeper anchorage toward the Atlantic mouth of the harbor.

Lots of wake from even small boats despite no wake zone late into evening and starting before dawn. Anchored in 9 ft near mooring balls by Coast Guard Station. Awoke to Reveille & National Anthem. No obvious close shore access.
