    We stayed here for two nights with and without wind. Hold was great and some bugs were not. All in all would gladly anchor here again. Peaceful with a few friendly locals coming by in transit or checking traps. Church bell’s ringing adds a comforting touch. Beautiful. Wind protection is not so much but holding proved good with depths ranging from 15-24’. Close proximity to Morningstar Marina if you need land access.

    Had excellent holding but exposed to wind and wake. However, after day is done of boat traffic it was calm and had a good night. Strong current outweights wind.

    Great anchorage with dingy land access to numerous town/restaurants in area. Hear it is slammed on weekends but our Wednesday/Thursday nights were fine. Great holding. Airport near to watch the small planes but not annoying. A boat of youngsters come through around 6-7 PM looking to get on anyone’s boat. Little weird but no thank you although one boat did permit.
