    Anchored here many times and usually very nice. Depth is 16-18' on north side by gas station/store but VERY shallow on south side. Area by Moody Gardens is deep and good holding but can have lots of ski boats making annoying noise and wakes.

    Wake from the Galveston ferry is terrible. Rolled all night even with centerboard down. Only anchor here if your desperate and poor.
