We have looked over the charts but wanted to ask here if anyone knows the BEST place to anchor with our boat? Cruising guide says something about off the commercial dock but we are not sure how to get there from the entrance channel? Anyone have first hand knowledge here? thanks in advance!

[/quote Our boat drafts 6' 4" when I was there in June I went just inside the last channel marker turn right eased up until I was out of water. Dropped the chain and backed down until I was almost in the channel again. I wouldn't go very far in with our draft. Jay

Be careful following advise about any of the "last markers" because I believe there were new markers added into the anchorage.

We grabbed a mooring ball in front of Neptune's in '06 in a Mooring 47.3 mono that claimed 5.5 ft draft. Had about a foot under the keel. Has anyone anchored back by Neptune's recently with 5'7" draft? Chuck W.
