Plummers Cove Anchorage (St. Johns River – south of Jacksonville)

On 7/17/08, as part of a “St. Johns River Wish List,” I posed the following question:

10. At Jacksonville, the St. Johns turns south (making it one of the few northward flowing rivers in America). The river remains a mighty stream for many miles south to Palatka. Along the way, there are several opportunities to anchor. One lies in the large body of water charted as Plummers Cove, immediately north and east of the I-295 bridge. Anyone anchored here lately? Did you find this a good spot to swing on the hook overnight?

Responses follow:

Plummers Cove. Have anchored there many times. Wind protected from the N.E. through the S. Holding and depths fine. Lots of traffic noise 24/7 from I-295 and from Jax Naval Air station flights over head.
