Anchorage Review for Galveston Channel
Reviewed by: Jr, Emma Girl, on Aug 1, 2022
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 43'
Draft: 5.0'Overall Rating:4Holding:5Wind Protection:4Current Flow:2Wake Protection:2Scenic Beauty:2Ease of Shopping:2Shore Access:3Pet Friendly:3Cell Service:5WiFi:1Anchored here for 2 nights in the middle of July 2022. A very good place to stage for jumping offshore. 12 feet of good holding. As mentioned in other reviews wakes from ferries and other ships but minimal.
Shore access is limited to the docks at the Yacht Basin, which is a good place to fuel and water up, and it's a short walk to Arlan's grocery store for provisions.
A shrimp boat comes thru in the mornings followed by a pod of dolphin chasing whatever is stirred up.. An enjoyable way to sip a cup of your favorite morning beverage and greet the day.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Anchorage Review for Brazoria Anchorage
Reviewed by: Jr, Emma Girl, on Aug 1, 2022

Line up from the west side and don't cut the corner. Narrow channel means anchoring on the upwind side in line with the channel so be ready to deploy both bow and stern anchors. Channel stays deep right up to the sides. Good holding in mud.
Fishing boat traffic during the day, and crab traps in the middle of the channel, but not an issue if approached in the daylight. Wouldn't do it after dark.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer
