Very good holding, we had wind 12 to 14 knots. The wind pushes the boat towards East. By re-anchoring western puts the boat right in the middle.

Saw 4.7' at the entrance to the anchorage. Dropped anchor in 10.2' of water. Wind was light and we were there alone. There was a lot fog the next morning, so we waited till about 10 am to leave, which allowed the water to rise more. Overall, an easy convenient anchorage.

4/9/22 We were happy with the convenient anchorage just to the west of the ICW. Holding was fine (60lb Manson Supreme/ all chain rode) in 10-12' of water & sandy mud. The wind was gusting out of the NNW 25-30 all day so this anchorage offered us decent protection. Had it been blowing out of the SE, we would've opted for the Harrison creek anchorage just South and across the river.
