Roosevelt Channel Anchorage (Statute Mile 13)
This haven lies well off the Western Florida ICW’s run through Pine Island Sound, and near to the eastern shores of Captiva Island. Tween Waters Marina is nearby, but dinghy landing is now allowed.
Spent 2 nights here when a strong front came through. I drew 4 feet. Very secure, but be careful. When the winds swung around from SE to NE we moved from 5.5 feet of water to 4 feet and ended up on the bottom for a while. Also, for some reason Tween Waters is not too friendly with transients at anchor (they are great if you get a slip). The slips, however, are fully exposed to E winds and it can be rough when they get near 20.
