Hi Brooksie--Yeah, if you can tuck up into the small cove formed by the little peninsula on which the VOR radio beacon sits on the west side of Fleming, you're OK, even in those "blue northers" that blast through starting this time of year. Are you Irish? Sounds like you were plenty lucky! Pity they're clamping down on cruisers who anchor out. Freedom has its price I guess. According to Boat US, the Florida Legislature has officially recognized Admiralty Law as trumping those petty local laws in the state which try to limit anchoring. I've never had an issue myself, but have heard of several who have. Problem seems to be educating the local Gendarmerie, most of whom apparently never even heard of Admiralty Law.
