This goes back a few years but, in 2002 we tried to anchor in between Soggy Dollar and Ivan's and couldn't get the anchor to hold. While we were diving on the anchor I noticed the rear end of an old vehicle buried in the sand - so we tied up to that. Actually a loop that could be let loose from the boat if we needed to get away in a hurry. Without going into all the drama, next morning, while having breakfast at the Soggy Dollar, a microburst came through - 90 mph winds sustained for about 15 minutes, Total carnage, Anybody that didn't have their engine fired up and ready to go ended up in the west end and in trouble. Our boat was lucky that nobody dragged down on us. I was unable to locate that rear end on a subsequent trip and headed over to Great Harbor to drop the hook in the rocks. Anyway, White Bay is a gorgeous anchorage, until it isn't. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
