The sole boat anchored in Deep Point was rocking and bouncing in a strong easterly wind when we came out Alligator - Pungo Canal, so we continued on to this spot. Such a difference. It was calm here. There were tree stumps sticking out of the water, so we anchored further from shore than the anchor sign. A peaceful spot. Weak T-Mobile signal.
