Blue Ground Range Anchorage
16° 48.2′ N · 88° 9.2′ W · approximate
A ring of mangrove cayes 10-12 miles off Sittee Point and Hopkins inside the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, with excellent sheltered overnight anchorage, dolphins and good fishing.
Practical
Position approximate: inside the range from OpenStreetMap's Blue Ground Range outline. Approach from the east (Ventura Yacht Agency); the OCC notes cite Rauscher's entrance waypoint 16°48.75'N 88°09.32'W and found holding good in soft sand with nothing under 2.7 m between Blue Ground Range and the Tin Cays when avoiding coral heads. Expect mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Within the marine reserve: no-take rules by zone.
