The bottom is very muddy and was hard to get a tight set however lots of rode with a long heavy chain on the bottom held us all night with no movement recorded on the anchor alarm graph. Quiet evening with few distant wakes. Beautiful homes surround you as you enjoy the sunset. Great location to prepare for the difficult crooked passage to the ICWW.

Bottom was soft. Difficult to set anchor after multiple attempts. Drug during night. This anchorage is a cove of large residential homes. Did not see a place to go ashore. Did not have problem with wakes.

Good hold. Muddy!! You’ll spend time cleaning your anchor. Wakes die down at dusk. Great spot for the night. Not much wind but would be good if N or NE winds blowing.
