With 34 kt gusts from SW then W in the forecast, the bend beyond the marina seemed to be the best option available. The anchor held fine, but we didn't feel much protection from the trees. Maybe we should have anchored closer to the houses along the bend to find more protection. We had the weakest T-mobile signals here, even weaker than in more remote anchorages. Otherwise, this and the large area before the marina can accommodate dozens of boats with easy access to the ICW.

Deep but plenty of room to let out rode and swing. Verizon cellular internet was high speed. Great stars at night; little light pollution.

Anchored beyond the marina, slightly behind the bend in 10-12 feet nearer the southern side of the waterway. Reversing current and good holding.
