Frazer's Hog Cay (East)

Location: Berry Islands
Lat / Lon: N 25° 25.500' / W 077° 49.936'
Depth: 7-10 Feet
Tide: 2.5'-3.0'
Description:
The east side of Frazers Hog Cay is as close to an all-weather anchorage as you can find in this part of the Berrys.
At one time there was a row of mooring balls maintained by the Frazers Hog Beach Club, but after the facility was destroyed by a hurricane the balls have fallen into disrepair and should not be used, however tempting it might seem. For a short stay there is acceptable protection from both wind and current in settled conditions south of the old Beach Club, but if you are in the anchorage to escape a cold front it is best to continue about 1 nm past the Club for the best protection

We have been in the anchorage two nights 900 feet from shore. It's very peaceful and we have only experienced moderate winds. It took two tries to get the anchor to set, but once it did, we were solid. Getting to shore is a quick dinghy hop. The beach was littered with debris. Live conch was easily found if not actually abundant. There are some abandoned ruins and little else to see. Use bug repellent. Mosquitos and no-seeums were fierce even out on the boat. Each morning our boat was blanketed with insects.

We draft five feet and arrived at near low tide. As you enter the channel on the east side of Chub Cay heading NNE passing Texaco Point it is shallow and you should proceed slowly with caution. Recommend arriving at or near high tide if possible.

We spent one night here when the winds were calm then shifting out of the west and north west. We had very good holding in the North Frazier's hog Anchorage. A very peaceful night. What a short for a walk and unfortunately there's really nothing in the area any longer since the very islands club and flows have closed down. Somewhat desolate but very peaceful and beautiful stop. Current was not an issue.

This is good for an overnight stop, or a weather wait. It is hard to get a set here because of the weeds on the bottom, but once you do, it's a mostly protected anchorage. Good place to wait for a nice day to cross over to Nassau, although you will get some fetch from a north wind here. You can slide over to near Bird Cay if the wind and fetch gets too bad.
