Guajiro, did you make it to Egmont? Like most of the above posts, best anchorage is east side, south end, as close to the south end as possible. On the weekends, just look for all the gleaming fiberglass and tanned hard bodies. Probably any day the weather is good. Two anchors worked best for me, bow and stern. Find a good place and you can just about step off onto the beach on the southeast end. Overnight, I don't know, Wx, currents, and outbound ship wakes will keep things a bit testy. Just stay well south of the pilot dock. I worked out of that dock, WAY BACK, pilot boats, before Blackthorn, before Skyway tragedy. Been a while, but I am sure it is still a lot of fun. I have ducked in a few times in the past twenty years or so on deliveries. Brings back a lot of memories. Had many a good day, both professional and personnally on that island. Have a good and safe cruise. I don't guess Captain Rab's house is still painted red, white, and blue?
