This was one of my favorite anchorages. Quite at night and beautiful. We had no wake issues and no boats went by us. We found a good spot to bring the dinghy ashore to walk the dog and explore. We anchored at 30°01'18.1"N 85°28'00.6"W and beached the dinghy at 30°01'11.0"N 85°28'15.0"W.

Anchored in 6.5' (mid-tide). Took a bit for the anchor to set, but dug in after a couple of seconds of backing down at idle. The bottom was quite flat; we saw the same depth almost everywhere near the anchor. Good (Verizon) cell service. Anchor and chain came up very muddy.
