Anchorage Review for Bight of Old Robinson - North
Reviewed by: Capt. Dave Wiley on Mar 5, 2025
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.5'Overall Rating:5Holding:5Wind Protection:5Current Flow:2Wake Protection:5Scenic Beauty:5Shore Access:2Cell Service:2Good holding here and we experienced very little swell during a clocking cold front. Good protection from W to ENE. Exposed to ESE winds. Pete's Pub is about 1.5nm dinghy ride across the Bight. There is essentially no other local boat traffic on this side of the Bight so it's a quiet spot and away from most everyone else. Good access from here to the lovely creeks and flats for kayak and paddle boarding. Cell signal was weak.

Anchorage Review for Key West - Wisteria Island Northwest
Reviewed by: Capt. Dave Wiley on May 14, 2023

Draft: 4.5'Overall Rating:5Holding:4Wind Protection:4Current Flow:5Wake Protection:3Scenic Beauty:5Ease of Shopping:2Shore Access:3Cell Service:5We're locals and have spent a few nights here on the hook. It's our "go to" anchorage nearby our home port marina at Ocean's Edge Resort. Tidal flow is strong and will swing your vessel 180 degrees but no problems with our Rocna and chain holding. Some local color living aboard nearby but not disruptive other than occasional dog barking. Nice breezes here and protected on NE to SE winds. Awesome Key West sunset views from this anchorage!
