We stopped here after bumping a log in the canal (14' depth and it must of been a dead head) to check the boat. We decided to stay, it was very peaceful with only a few fishing boats passing us. It got a little bumpy with the incoming tide as current was against the wind (10 Kts) but is wasn't an issue.

Anchored at night, two other boats here. Stay southeast of ICW to avoid traffic. Good hold. Nov 2022
