Don't go in the summer!!! You may experience a Fuzzy Bill swarm that will cover your vessel with tens of thousands of flys and green slime. What an unbelievable mess. Holding is weak in very soft mud and very exposed from all sides except west. Very scenic.

Anchored here with a SW wind and was very exposed. Lots of crab pots which did cause us some navigational concerns. Got fairly good wifi and cell service with Verizon.

8.5 to 9.5 feet from entrance of the river to anchorage. Lots of crab pots but none cause navigational concern during river inlet transit. Anchorage has pots but was able to drop anchor predicting swing for anticipated winds. No problem. Fisherman came by checking his pots and gave us a friendly wave. We anchored slightly more into the center in 9.5 feet of water.
