Myrtle Beach to Bull Creek

We left Myrtle Beach on a cloudy and cool morning. A fairly uneventful departure.

Rather quickly we transitioned to Carolina low country, and then there were birds everywhere!!

A flock of skimmers

                                A magnificent pair of mature eagles in a wonderful setting

                                 Including this lone eagle less than a mile down the waterway spotted by      Tommy & Renee aboard Tomahawk, our cruising partner on our leg to Charleston.

We anchored along with Copeing & Tomahawk in Bull Creek which is just off the ICW at mm381. It is on the east side of the waterway and very easy to enter with over 20-15 ft of water in through the first turn. We anchored in the middle with 13-14 ft of water all around us. A cold front was coming through, so we had plenty of rain and wind. There is slightly less than a 5 foot tidal range and with winds gusting to 25' we put out 120 feet of anchor chain and had a good hold. We swung in a semi circle all night but stayed where we should have. Great anchorage.
