Troy Gibson - Foster not recommended for anchoring larger mono hull. My boat 13m with 2.5m draft was a challenge to say the least up many times to re set as very strong current and very limited space to set anchor. 5 large boats crammed into small anchorage = carnage at times with very shalllw water and very strong tidal currents

Sailed from the bar at port Stephens and motor sailed when necessary. Wind dropped completely 5nm out from Foster. Saw many whales and some dolphins. Foster not a good anchorage for me.
