I was planning on staying here a couple nights to wait for a slip at Coco Village Marina, but the boat wake and waves from wind fetch made it pretty rough. 6.8-7' low tide. Go slow enough you can power off if you get grounded. I bumped 2 times.

Bottom is sandy mud.

Held fine with 100 ft chain on Bruce anchor 7 ft mlw exposed to all but North winds far enough from traffic and close enough to lift bridge to avoid most wakes. If headed south go through the night before to avoid the bridge tender from starting your day out poorly 4 bars for phone no place for dogs or dingy
