    Attempted to anchor in center of deep portion noted on chart. Bottom is maybe 2 inches of sand covering hard coral bottom. Had to move on. Catamaran looked comfortable set in much swallower water next to mangroves.

    We anchored here and enjoyed Rachel's bath at both low and high tide. I would recommend both going at both high and low tide. The winds came up and blew from NE shifting E then to SE blow 20knt. The anchorage became very rolly and uncomfortable. Holding was very good in sand just behind main channel which is mainly rock.
