Great anchorage in a wide stretch of the river between two sharp bends. We had no wind and the current slowed to nothing during the night so we swung 180 degrees, but were still well off the shore and the sailing line. Passing tows didn't move us at all. Anchor came up clean. Consistent water depth of under 10 feet meant we could put out less than 100 feet of chain and had lots of room to swing 360 degrees if necessary.
