    4-10-24 We had 7 ft of water near low tide entering in the middle of the approach to the anchorage. 73 lb Rocna held good in mud on 45 ft boat with predicted wind gust of 40 mph. Room for 2 or 3 boats and protected by most winds. A sheriff idled through on our second day but just waved as he passed by. Some wake from passing boats in the intracoastal but not bad.

    Anchored here multiple times. Great overnight stop. 8+ feet and good holding. Pretty goog protection from ICW wake but not perfect.

    We have been anchored here for a few hours mid-day. While it "looks" like the perfect anchorage, it is quite a bit more ROLLY than I expected! Hopefully it settles down tonight.

    Nice to find a deep, protected, right off-the-ICW anchorage at Pelican Cove in Del Ray. Entrance at near low tide was 8 ft. We anchored in 12 ft good holding when we backed down on the anchor.

    Anchored here on 3/3/21 right in the middle of the lake. No other boats which was nice. We set the hook in 12 feet on 95 feet of rode. It was a breezy night, but we did not drag. The anchor and chain needed a good wash down from the black mud.

    Great spot to drop the hook for the night, room for 4 large boats (or 6 small), great holding on the bottom. needed to clear a 4'6" bar at the entry then drop off to 6 ft.
