    This anchorage was great when the wind was from the South to the SW. Once the wind shifted out of the West, and especially with a northern component, I and most other boats were rocking uncomfortably in the swell. In stronger winds from the west through the north I found it more comfortable on the east side of Leaf Cay.

    As expected, great protection from winds out of the NE to east. Lots of sand with good holding.

    I anchored at the Southwest mouth. Great holding. Current, I thought, was minimal. Cell phone coverage, with cellular internet, was spotty but I got it by placing my phone in a high location. Calm, tranquil, anchorage in a late November.

    I followed the directions for accessing this anchorage and had no problems. I had no problem with holding despite the current.
