    Very nice and well protected anchorage with one major caveat. The channel leading into the river is shallow and only 4.5' wide! That gives you about 2' on either side of your center board. I ran aground and recovered once going in and four times coming out. If you have a draft of 5' or over, be very, very careful navigating the channel at the entrance to the river. Take it very slow and be prepared to back down if necessary.

    Ducked in here for weather.

    Nice quiet: only the bassboats flying by at 20 knots trying to wake us.
