    5kts breeze kept the bugs away. No traffic. Anchored in 9' near low, in mud. Just moved out of the channel and dropped the hook. Nice spot. No shore access.

    Lovely anchorage in the middle of the marshes. Come in on the charted 22’ “spur” into the anchorage south of the 5.9 depth on the chart. Anchor in the middle and halfway to the charted sandbar in 12’ at MLLW. Good holding. We saw minimum of 12’ within about 50’ of the SE shore. Good holding as the current turned and a major Tstorm came through.

    Approaching from the south enter one third of the way up the entrance. Saw 7’ at dead low on the way in, which increased to 11’ 150yds in from the ICW. Very soft mud, so holding not good on first two tries (Delta 35lb anchor) but then grabbed solid. Pretty spot

    Very private little cove. Homes all around the cove, no shore access. Very soft black mud. Great protection all the way round. We draw 5.5’ and saw 6.5’ at dead low just south of G13. Great discovery.
