I was just curious about them anchoring there because that area of the marine park I’m pretty sure is “no anchoring”.

Not sure how accurate this picture is .

Grabbed it off the internet.

Looks like anchoring is band if the lines are hatched not just straight.

Yes! You are correct. I had another look at the chart. Hatched areas only, which means an area near Broughton and one near Seal Rocks. I rarely anchor anyway... I use spot lock on the Minn Kota - saves me pulling up the anchor! All this time though I thought you couldn’t anchor there!
