Exchange Island Anchorage (St. Johns River – short hop east of downtown Jacksonville)

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

3. The only really good anchorage near downtown Jacksonville is found on the waters east of Exchange Island, near the charted location of “Arlington.” Anyone dropped the hook here recently? What did you find, and what depths did you observe?

Responses follow:

A large group of boaters anchored behind Exchange Island in the spring of 2007. They reported all was well. I did not stop as I was headed only a few more miles to my home port.
