Tina's Pocket

Location: Cape Fear River
Mile Marker: 306.2
Lat / Lon: N 33° 55.957' / W 077° 58.450'
Depth: 8+
Tide: 4
Description:
Remote cove behind spoil islands, out of the way of traffic and mostly quiet. Ducked in after leaving the Atlantic northbound due to storms and stayed overnight here vs backtracking and stopping off the ICW. No wakes, good 8-10 foot depth, good holding. No traffic, but a careful entry to get here. No shore access to think of but a good stop for an overnight.
DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.

We stayed for 1 night during a storm with gusts in the 20s. With little wind protection and strong current flow, it was a very bumpy night when the winds and currents were opposing. We held fine with 150' of chain - probably a little more than we needed but we arrived at night during the storm. Be careful upon entering, as there is shoaling and piles near the entrance. The current was so strong here so we decided not to go ashore.
