Holding:

0

Holding is good. Anchor came up clean so not a muck bottom. Exposed to the north unless you tuck in behind St Christopher Key just outside the “no combustion engines” zone.

Shore Access:

0

No shore access by boats with combustion engines - signs to keep any boat with an engine in the center of the bayou. Kayaks and paddle boards are allowed.
