Didn't use wifi or cell, didn't go ashore or shop. Anchored just inside the crook to get some protection from S winds. Only protection would be from East and South. Was 8' but you could see clear to bottom, held well with 100' chain.

Peaceful spot, plenty of swing room and decent holding.

Anchored in the north end in 7 feet between some crab pot strings. Had an overnight squall with 180 degree wind change. Our Rocna dragged about 25' before it reset on it's own. In the morning our chain was caught on a small sunken boat. The water was clear, so we were able to see and maneuver around to free the chain.

Good anchorage in NNE through S wind. 7 feet well towards shore. Keep a look out for crab traps. Dinghy dock at Marker 88 Restaurant and bar in the center of the bay. Great food and drinks with access to the shore from their dock.
