A staging anchorage just inside Indian Rock Passage off West End, for boats that arrive too late to reach Mangrove Cay.

Practical

ActiveCaptain position. Good holding with a 73 lb Rocna; a bit bouncy, 'but not many options' (2022). Weak current, cell reception. Watch the Barracuda Shoal pole, which marks the shoal not the channel (see Indian Rock Passage). Mangrove Cay is about 18 nm east-north-east.
