Anchored on the NE side of Meeks Patch in 8' of water at low tide. We had light winds, but Mantus M2 anchor was buried in soft sand. Dingied to Spanish Wells to dump trash and pick up some dinghy gas and groceries. Very nice town.

Great spot. Didn't go to the beach, but it looked very nice.

Anchored here in a NE wind and it was very bumpy. The reef didn't knock down as much of the swell as I would have hoped. E and SE would be fine. Found good holding in sand at 12'. Easy in and out of Anchorage, lots of room for many boats.

We found good holding here with our Mantus M2 in 10 feet of water. Dinghied through the mangroves and saw 50+ turtles. Good Anchorage in S through N winds.

Very good holding and lots of protection from NE to S. Additional protection from West from Lubbers Quarter Cay. Lots of options to explore. Close to Tahiti Beach. Weathered a 40kt blow here anchor didn't budge.

Went north of the 2 derelict vessels and 'Rock' which is an oyster mound of sorts. Anchored in 16' with 65lb Mantus and 100 of chain. Decent holding, will swing with current even against stiff breeze.

Not a long dinghy ride to town, go in calm weather. Locals mostly steer clear, had a couple idiots run right next to our boat with tons of room.

Overall, a nice spot if the main anchorages by town are full. Great cell service as well.
