Anchored here in about 12 feet of water for 2 nights. Anchor set quickly, held firm with reasonably strong flood and ebb currents, and came up clean. I anchored more toward Reed Island than the icon due to a NE wind, just a little north of the channel markers for Mill Cove. There were some boats that whizzed by with the resultant wakes but not horrible. Lots of dolphin activity. I would definitely stay here again.

Anchored here in 9' with 100' of scope we sat over 22'. Held in mud with 32 MPH winds, no dragging. There is current for the tide but the anchor held. There is some beach area to the west of channel. Dolphins are throughout the bay.
