There really is only room for one in this anchorage marked on both Navionics and Aquamap.

There was 8+ feet of water all the way in, (mid tide coming.)

Only 10ft of vertical clearance for this fixed span nearby up-river from this anchorage.
USS Devil Ray (88ft) home port. Its primary mission is to retrieve torpedoes and other ordinance used in US Navy training exercises in these waters.

The channel is well marked with both day markers and illuminated beacons.

In addition to the USS Devil Ray, there are plenty of good sized boats housed in here.
