    great holding, soft mud & grass. ok wind protection as we were there on a windy evening, current rips at tide(change 3.5knts) very nice & remote anchorage, just the way we like it1 stayed with a buddy boat & they had no issues either. the wildlife area is closed but we did take our dog ashore there for relief. alot of duck hunters there this time of year but all in all a great anchorage. we will stay here again!

    One of our favorite secluded anchorages. Minimal wind protection but good holding in mud. Current can be strong, we saw as much as 2.4 kts. Anchor watch recommended during tidal current change. Nice quiet remote anchorage.

    Easy anchorage off the ICW, plenty of room. Somewhat exposed to winds, plenty of current. Rocna anchor held well. Very scenic and quiet.

    Current really rips thru here - 2.4 kts 2 days after full moon. Around next bend seems slightly less. Good spot to wait if you are going north and want to time the tide through Dawho River.

    Absolutely beautiful place to stop on a sunny afternoon. Closed area (wildlife refuge) to the north. Be warned: at night hunters tear around with small unlighted outboard vessels (and in thick fog), and in the morning they wage war on anything they may (or may not) actually see -- also in thick fog. Make sure you are visible (and audible in fog).
