We anchored south of the bridge and off Harbortown Marina. We now prefer to go to the marina (see Marina tips)
It was ***very** windy (not protected from the east where the wind is coming from), and the boat swings **wildly** in the current - completely out of synch with the other 3 boats here. Every time the bridge opens it is noisy (bridge horn etc.) but there are almost no openings at night.
The boat rocks as it swings. It took Bob 2 tries to get the anchor set, and that almost never happens. Also the chart shows 8 feet, and the area has lumps. Tried to turn just after going through the bridge and it is shoaled up by the bridge. The shoal goes south down almost to the red marker that shows the marina entrance. There are also other lumps.
Anchoring closer to shore may be less current. We seemed to swing more than the other boats, and the wind was the same for all of us so it's probably that we have a deeper, larger keel and the current affects us more.
