I've been in a few times - always with trouble. (I draw 5 ft). I've
wondered if the row of buoys outside in fact mark the channel, and if
so which side. They appear to be speed limit warnings, but are lined
up as if to mark a channel.

As for anchoring - in my experience, the deep water is foul - trees et
al that can be a real chore to pull up along with your anchor.
