Centered on the Location of This Anchorage:
On a night of blustery (gusting to 25+) winds from the east, we set the hook on the SE corner of the Addison Point Bridge, and the holding (in about 7′ or so) was outstanding. We had only one other boat with us, but felt quite secure even as we had a middle-of-the-night squall. Nice spot, too – nothing really there, no place to land, but pleasant for watching the sun set across the water – and if there had been a shuttle launch as planned for 30 November, it would have been a sweet spot to view it, too!
We have stayed at Addison Point many times and in all but the south east quadrant. Tonight we are northwest of the bridge trying to duck out of a southwest wind. It’s a little bouncy and there is always noise from the NASA Causeway, especially at rush hour but it’s a convenient place to anchor. The traffic dies down at night.
