This is a great spot to stop and wait for transit through the canal. We waited for the current to switch directions. Fairly rolly anchorage if there is much wind or commercial traffic, but the mud/clay holds very well.

Anchored here for the night before heading for Cape May. Had a thunder storm come through and it blew 45kts for around 20 minutes and all was well. Good holding and recommend for the night.
