Great little anchorage! Quiet, protected and very little wake activity. Just stayed for one night.

Really quiet location, a couple small fishing boats passed by respectfully. A couple locals stopped by to chat, very friendly. Holding was good mud, and good wind protection. Extremely quiet.

Plenty of room to anchor outside of the main channel area. However on Spring and Summer weekends there will be lots of boat traffic/wakes to deal with.

Spent 1 night on 9-30-19. Checked wind forecast before anchoring which was from N & E, protection was good. Excellent holding real good mud. Anchored between 2 & 4 right in middle instead of 2 & 5 as I wanted to be clear of marina traffic near G5. Good OTA T.V.
