Position: N32 degrees 36.943, W80 degrees 16.462 -Steamboat Creek
We anchored in a WONDERFUL place last night off the North Edisto River called Steamboat Creek. It had a small brick structure called the "octagonal house" and was described in the Cruising Guide as having been used by the wealthy plantation owners as a steamboat stop to take them to Charleston (I apologize for the picture - it was late afternoon when we arrived and early morning when we left so the picture isn't the best). The William Seabrook House, a very historic plantation house was directly behind it. Unfortunately, we got to the anchorage late in the afternoon so couldn't get the dinghy ashore before nightfall to explore. We were surprised that we were the only boat back there but we were in a "parade" of power boaters and I'm sure they were far ahead of us by late afternoon. This creek was probably a mile from the ICW but well worth the extra time. Depths remained at 18 ft. even at low tide for about 1/2 mile into the mouth of the creek. We made it to Isle of Palms today since we needed fuel and we enjoyed it so much the last time we were here.
