    Used this anchorage on 6 September 2021. Had spent the previous night at an open anchorage in Horn Harbor. Good anchorage, had 6-7 feet, centered in creek just past Dare Marina & Sea RR. Anchor held first time, came up next day with some mud but not excessive. Dare marina is available for dinghy docks, did not ask if there was a charge. It was a very windy day 6 September on Chesapeake Bay so we wanted quiet & less rocking. Locals very friendly, homeowner came by on jet ski invited us to see fireworks on another creek. Limited boat traffic, watermen & day boats but all courteous.

    Anchored here Oct 30 2020, 44 foot trawler with 60 lb Bruce Anchor. Went past No Wake Zone just around bend between two far apart docks for shallower water in center. Anchored mid-tide in 10 feet of water, with expected tide increase of ~4 feet. Water showed deeper that charted depths in entire portion of river we went through. Large Thunderbolt Marina building and tree line provided some wind break. Anchor grabbed first back down and held all night, came up very clean just a little gray mud/clay. Was a Friday night, local boaters mostly courteous. It was a cool evening and morning the next day so not a lot of recreational boaters, mostly local fishing boats. Did not try to go ashore for dog or shopping, no opinion on those options. Will use this anchorage again.

    We stayed for three days, here for the storm 4/23/2020. Marina is fabulous, Dockmaster Brian is wonderful. We were on dock #7 and they allowed us to move to #1 fuel and pump out in preparation for departure tomorrow 4/25/2020 at sunrise. Diesel on 4/24/2020 was $2.00 a gallon with Boat US discount. We stayed here going south again of course going north. Safe place for storms, fabulous staff!
