Rat Cay/Cistern Cay

Location: Berry Islands
Lat / Lon: N 25° 45.683' / W 077° 52.658'
Depth: 6-8 Feet
Tide: 2.0'-2.5'
Description:
There is slightly better protection from the NE on the north side of Bullocks Harbour. The depths here are less than they are directly in front of the settlement, and the holding is more precarious as there are more grass and marl patches to avoid. If one is careful to set their anchor in a patch of sand, Rat Cay is a viable choice for those who choose to remain in the harbour during the passage of a cold front.
There is a blue hole on the north side of Rat Cay that can be explored by dinghy.

Great open anchorage with good holding and protection from the N through SE. Since it's wide open there's always going to be room. Depths get shallow near the northern end of the anchorage, around 7-10' through most of the rest of the anchorage. Shore access is possible through the government docks nearby, or in to Great Harbour at the marina.
