You can anchor on the end of the front straight or by turn 4. The straight closest to rt 50 is the back straight, and turns 1/2 are by the kent island yacht club. If you get there early go right up by the buoys and anchor. If you get to close they'll let you know. If you get there late either gingerly pick your way up to the front and try to anchor, or find an opening further back and anchor. The whole scene will be obvious when you pull up. Turn 4 won't be so obvious, you'll need to sort of go around an island to get to turn 4.
