Secret anchorage

Looks like a day or two of poor weather coming up so I decided to push through to my favorite anchorage on the East Coast. I discovered it 34 years ago just after having bought my boat and sailing north in the spring. Here is why I like it. 360 degree protection. The largest waves will be about 2 inches high in a gale force wind. It is completely surrounded by mud and soft grass. Steep banks prevent groundings. Nothing manmade. Nobody else comes here, that I have ever seen, therefore no one can drag in to me. Depth is perfect, a consistent 9 to 10 feet at low tide. If there is a negative, it is that a fairly good current runs through the creek and that can cause the usual annoyances when wind and tide oppose. The only hint I will give is that it is in South Carolina. The first time I came here I remember climbing the mast after dark and being able to see just 1 light off in the distance. Sadly, that is no longer true, but it is still a pretty quiet place.

Best to all, Charlie
