Probably mean Cistern Point. Besides the grass bottom the geographic relationship between Cistern Point and the gap at Haulover Bay presents a rather unique problem. At night as the land cools and the trades drop into the gap and deflect off Cistern Point it sets up a series of vortices that roll over the anchorage. This is why it is common to see boats in Manchaneel Bay laying in all sorts of directions. That is minor for boats on a ball but boats at anchor can be twisted out of the bottom. The closer you get to Cistern Point the faster the rotation. Attempting a Bahamain mooring makes it even worse. The two rodes turn into a Spanish windlass pulling both anchors out and leaving you with a tangled mess.
