Awendaw Anchorage - on the hook

 

The start of our first sunset photo!

We came through Minim Creek and McClellanville without a problem since I had a 3 foot tide. Minim Creek was no problem but McClellanville could have been at low tide. I saw 4.9 MLLW at one point. It has definitely shoaled in after the dredging to 12 feet last year. The Bob 423 track follows the deepest water and Navionics SonarChart is pretty good too through here. 

We had some nice color just as the sun reached the horizon

Ann picked out her favorite spot, right in the middle of the anchorage with tons of room around. We don't like to feel crowded and Awendar fits that criteria every time. There could be a hundred boats in here and still not be crowded. 

Hoolie relief is within a quick dinghy ride if you can get up on plane. There's a sandy beach that's steep to at all tides that I use by the entrance to the anchorage. So now we're relaxed after a taco dinner cooked by our granddaughter who's with us on this trip south. It's very calm, with no wind and no wave action. We look forward to a calm night although it might be a little cool in the morning. Autumn is coming!
