Not the greatest holding but should work unless storming. Lots of bugs in mid June, mostly biting flies. Convenient location. Lots of room to swing. Beware of all of the crab pots.

Good, relatively open anchorage N of Alligator River bridge. Was useful for staging an early crossing over Albermarle Sound the next morning. Depths were relatively uniform 9' across the area, though lots of crab pots. Very weak cellular signal (T-mobile). Holding was good -chain came up clean, although anchor came up covered in something like wet cement!

I had never dreamed that there could be so many bugs on my boat. After setting anchor and dining below because of the bugs, we went to sleep. The next morning EVERY SQUARE MILLIMETER was COVERED in Midgees / Fuzzybills! It was incredible! While they don't bite, my attempt at dissuading them from spending the day on my dodger and bimini resulted in my being swarmed by the damn things. Initially I used a shop vac in blow mode, I then switched to a can of RAID. I vacuumed up about 2 pounds of dead/dying bugs as a result. They leave a green goo EVERYWHERE.

Great anchorage except for the bugs. Woke up to an infestation of biblical proportions. This is probably seasonal and unfortunately May is the season.

Make sure to get far enough West of the ICW to get clear of the wakes and some wind protection.

T-Mobile signal was weak, ATT was fine,

Holding was great.
