I draw five feet so anchoring in the four foot location shown in Waterway Guide was not possible. Just to the North of the private channel in ten feet will afford better protection from wakes. The island is very busy. A tug and barge twice a day and crew boats up to eight times a day. Today we had a severe weather warning for heavy wind and rain as well as a tornado warning right across the channel. It came out of the North with 60 mph winds. We did just fine where we were. Excellent holding.
