Long Cay

Location: Bahamas
Lat / Lon: N 25° 05.335' / W 077° 22.603'
Depth: 6
Description:
Beautiful scenic setting with views of the reef and island. Clearly see the sandy unobstructed bottom. 5-minute dinghy ride to the fish fry and beaches. Tucked in about 300 feet south of the island and about 300 feet west of a marked swimming area and sand bar. Anchored in 8 foot of water in sand letting out a scope of 8 to 1 which held well in moderate north winds and a small swell that worked its way over the reef and curved around the island. Moderate protection from ocean swells. Good wind protection from North only.

Good holding in medium sand. We were told to let out a scope of eight-to-one(or ten to be really sure).

We tried to anchor here today but were unable to get our anchor to hold. The sand bottom seems very firm and our anchor would not "dig in" so we did not stay. It is a pretty area and the water is clear. There were a lot of day-use jet skis and smaller boats zipping by, creating continuous wakes. I don't know if it would have settled down after dark since we didn't stay.
