        First of all, shame on me for my poor chart reading. This anchorage is a long way off Pamlico Sound.
        The route in is fairly easy with a chart plotter. Had plenty of water under the boat all the way in. There was 8 feet of water in the anchorage.
        The winds were out of the West @ 21kts when I anchored and got settled in. The boat did a lot of swinging and turning. Not much bouncing though which was nice. Some time during the night I dragged the anchor a bit. When I hoisted the anchor this morning, it came up clean so I am unable to say what the bottom is like. Grass maybe??
        This anchorage is in a marsh. There is no “land” nearby, so there is no stretching your legs or giving your pets a break.
        I was in the anchorage by myself. Had one boat come by the next morning. Other than that it was peaceful.
        The Air Force bombing range was active but too far away to see anything.
