Price Creek Anchorage
Yesterday we did much better and had good elp from the tide for the most part. Came through the south and north Edisto Rivers,dodged the rain for the most part, passed through Charleston and then hit the shallows on the ICW just north of Charleston. We have been through here now several times and it is interesting to see how the depths change year to year. It was at low tide and I could see a sailboat aground ahead of us. As we approached him, he hailed us on the VHF to apprise us of his situation. The depth on our gauge went to 4 feet. We draw 4 feet, so there was no fudge room, but we snuck by and didn't touch. I followed the sonar charts on Navionics through there on Cindy's tablet and it was amazingly accurate on the depth contours. Made camp at a nicce anchorage called Price Creek where we were all alone. This morning we broke camp early this morning to ake advantage of the tidal flow and to hit the McClellan shallows at high tide. They only have 3 feet at low tide so we need to time it.
