Stayed here waiting on weather. Good holding, excellent depths. Lots of stars and relaxing sound of Gulf the other side of a short dune. You can get close enough to swim to shore. Minimal small boat traffic in the area and no crab pots, yet.

Ducked in here at 9:00 one-night, easy anchorage, good holding mud/sand 15-17', good location for all wind conditions except a blow out of the north.
