Stopped here for a one night stay. Stayed on the Wadmalaw River & not on the creek. Winds from SE/SSE were steady about 10-15 with strong gusts. Anchored about 50 yds from shore. Scope 7-1, 35kg Rocna. Good holding all night though rolly/choppy. Anchor came up easy and cleaned off easy. Nothing nearby but quiet with no boat traffic nearby.

Pulled in here in a 30 knot wind. A bit wild getting in and setting the anchor. We are a 42' cat and by the time we set the anchor we had used up most of the width of the channel. In hindsight we would have gone to Toogoodoo creek as it is wider or if there was time go further downstream to one of the other locations.
