    Very nice anchorage area 10 to 16 foot at MLW with 2 foot tides. Wake from ICW subsided after dusk.
    Had to drop anchor 3 times due to grass at the bottom. Holding is fair with 5/1 scope. This is a fair weather anchorage and would not use it in a strong wind.

    No protection from wind or waves. With 8 to 12 knot wind. The boat kept rolling and rocking all night. The island shown on chart does not exist

    • WG Editor Comment:

      The island is submerged.

    Called the yard requesting simple service to one of my engines. I informed them of my arrival date to St. Augustin, FL and the type of service. They assured me the service manager "Mason" will call me the same day. Called 3 times after that and received same assurances. The manager never called. Upon arrival to St. Augustine, I called the yard again and the person answering informed me that they can't even look at the boat for at least three weeks or more. Had they mentioned that from the first call I would have tried another yard or even another town.

    Anchorage area is full of moorings and lobster traps Need to anchor in 16 ft water when moorings are not in use
