3 30 2023 another good nights sleep here without any other boats this time.11 3 2022 here with a few other boats this time. Some light traffic. We arrived at the end of day and left 0800 in the morning. 11 5 2017 Anchored here in fairly calm winds. Spotted a good sized pole on shore which was a very good reference for checking if our anchor was dragging through the tidal shifts. Anchor held fast, if fact had to use small amount of boat power to gently coax it up when leaving. Good ATT connection and picked up several TV stations on antenna. No wakes during the night and three other boats anchored further in.

Decided to anchor here and stay a bit closer to the ICW (rather than continuing onward up the river). Nice spot. Very little boat traffic. Houses to the NE were beautiful and the marsh on the other side was scenic. Despite only a slight NE evening breeze, only encountered a couple straggler insects. Current was strong (in-line with area) and dictated facing direction. Anchor held well and came up clean.
