    I can't give Rum Point Basin as high of a rating as others because the local inhabitants have salted the anchorage with stakes and "mooring balls" (no one is moored to them!) spaced just far enough apart to make anchoring difficult. We thought we had anchored far enough away from the minefield but a storm during the night swung us right into one of the balls. Needless to say, this is dangerous so I'd think twice before deciding to use this spot as an anchorage again, or ever.
