Man-O-War Scopley Rock Anchorage
26° 35.9′ N · 77° 0.7′ W · approximate
Open anchorage on the Sea of Abaco side of Man-O-War, between the north end of Dickies Cay and Scopley Rock, for boats that would rather swing on their own hook than take a harbour mooring.
Practical
Position approximate: placed in the water off the north end of Dickies Cay using OpenStreetMap coastline; Scopley Rock itself is not mapped. Waterway Guide: anchor anywhere between the north end of Dickies Cay and Scopley Rock in 10-12 ft; holding is good, and protection from northeast through east-southeast gives a decent night in prevailing trades. Exposed to the west and northwest, so leave before a winter front clocks round. Dinghy into the harbour for the village.
