🧤 Captain’s Anchorage Notes

Fourth option in the Percy Reach cluster. If Blue Hole and Green Acres are taken, try here before resorting to German Landing. It's an easy dinghy ride to the Lock 8 wall, which makes it a practical overnight even if you want to walk the lock grounds. Pet friendly — good open area for a dog run. Watch the charts carefully — there are 4-foot spots in this anchorage that will catch you off guard if you're not paying attention.

§8

⚠️ Hazards & Warnings

CAUTION: Pay close attention to your charts in this area — there are reported 4-foot shoal areas within the anchorage. Verify depths carefully with your depth sounder before setting the hook. Not suitable for deeper-draft vessels without careful sounding.
