Sheltered here from strong northerly winds (20s kts. sustained, gusts into 30s). Found poor holding with very sticky clay/mud. The mud glued together a debris ball that fouled my anchor forcing me to clean and reset at the height of the blow. Long key is an uncomfortably close lee shore in strong N – NE winds.
