Turn in to RDB south of green buoy. Favor south shore for deepest water at the entrance to the bay 20' winter pool following the old creek bed past the first cove on the south side of the bay. 18 feet at the entrance to the second cove on the south side. 16 feet winter pool at the anchorage icon. The anchorage cove is lovely but it is only large enough for one boat. Good cell phone reception, good protection. Reported good holding in mud. A gem for the solo boat. Beach access is possible at winter pool by just beaching your dinghy.
