Beautiful anchorage. Current really strong, frequently against wind which caused very strange swings and difficult for the anchor to set. Strong holding once set, however.
Dock under bridge is mudded in and extremely shallow with nails sticking out in places so be careful if you have an inflatable.
Athena Otie Key very cool, nice beach and actually saw a pair of flamingos! Lots of birds and dog friendly.

OK, but we were rocked by waves caused by wind against tide. Anchored a little east of the marker on the map. Nearby beach ok for dinghy users. Not much boat traffic.
