Red 12 is no longer there, Anchor after R10 midway between R16 about 100 feet from the mangroves. Great overnight stop, many wakes before sunset. Quiet remainder of the night. Easy in and out at dawn.

Depth in Gordon Pass 10 feet plus, favor red marker coming in. Shoaling is on the north side of channel. Anchorage is quite small and boat traffic is horrific. Many very large boats frequent the area and transiting Gordon Pass during the day is nerve wracking as nav. rules are not followed. Was OK for a one night stop over but wouldn't stay there any longer. The bright spot is the TowboatUS Naples team, which provided great local information and came by to check on me.

Great protection and no wakes or current. Holding poor. Rocna dragged in wind less than 15 knots until I put out much more chain than usual. Watch the bar at the entrance to this arm if over 4 feet draft. I came in at +1.5 foot tide and had as little as 1-2 feet under the boat at spots.
