Green Turtle Cay - White Sound

Location: Abacos
Lat / Lon: N 26° 46.802' / W 077° 20.189'
Depth: 7-10 Feet
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
If you wish to anchor in White Sound, the best holding is found just south and east of the docks at the Green Turtle Club. The bottom is silty and care must be taken to ensure that your anchor has reached the clay base, especially if heavy weather is expected. The area of good holding is not very large and to remain clear of the docks and the moorings, there is only room for 1 or 2 boats.
It is best to take a slip in White Sound or a mooring if you are confident about its condition. Anchoring should be considered only as a distant third option.

Heard the holding here could be sketchy and there was a front coming so we took a mooring. Other boats came in and anchored and seemed to hold well in the 20-30 kt wind.

Went ashore do dive at Brendals which was an excellent experience.
