Cook Creek 2

Lat / Lon: N 29° 03.198' / W 080° 54.686'
Depth: 10 feet
Tide: 2 feet
Description:
Locals use this area as an anchorage. Came in at 1/2 falling tide between red 18 and 20. Lowest I saw was 8' and anchored in 10' of water. Anchor held well with 70' out(Mantus 45 and 3/8" G4). The current will hold you in line with the shore. You will turn 180° with tide change so make sure you get a good set or set an alarm for tide changes. There is a bit of wake from local fishing boats but I haven't seen anything crazy. Calms down around nightfall.
NOTE: Per Florida Statute 327.4109

The owner or operator of a vessel or floating structure may not anchor or moor such that the nearest approach of the anchored or moored vessel or floating structure is:
1. Within 150 feet of any marina, boat ramp, boatyard, or other vessel launching or loading facility;
2. Within 300 feet of a superyacht repair facility. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "superyacht repair facility" means a facility that services or repairs a yacht with a water line of 120 feet or more in length; or
3. Within 100 feet outward from the marked boundary of a public mooring field or a lesser distance if approved by the commission upon request of a local government within which the mooring field is located. The commission may adopt rules to implement this subparagraph.

Anchored here overnight expecting winds to die down, just the opposite. Winds higher than expected steady east 15 with gusts 25+. Anchor held throughout the night. Room for at least 5 boats. We were here with 3 ( 2 mono 1 cat). Ponce light house clearly visible all night. Some wake from fast sport fishing boats but what would you expect from them. Didn't go ashore so couldn't rate those areas. I would gladly choose the Anchorage again whether outrunning the weather or just a safe quiet place to overnight.
