    Barely got under this bridge yesterday at dead low tide. The board read 61' even. We need 60' 10".

    Tricky creek entrance to spot, but very well worth it once you're in. Plenty of room to swing and for other boats (there were 6 including us). 7' entry and 10' inside. We had 15-20 Knots from NE and held OK. Saw a couple river otters.

    Beautiful but narrow anchorage for a boat our size. 3-to-1 max scope with little swing room. Fine for settled weather (which we had). Had 6' coming in and 10' inside. Some wind protection from the north. No wakes from ICW traffic.
