    • Banks Channel Northside Channel (Wrightsville Beach, St. M. 280)

      The Banks Channel Northside Anchorage is truly a great spot to drop the hook, with nearby public dinghy dockage, plus shopping and dining within walking distance. The only problem I’ve ever had with this haven is that the most direct approach from the AICW is by way of Motts Channel, and this passage is subject to periodic shoaling.

      We are currently lying in this anchorage and agree it’s not sheltered from southwesterly winds and only marginally better for northeasterly winds. The channel in easy to follow >if< you allow for the shoal NE of the R’14’³. Holding seems to be good. Wakes can be an issue, particularly with small boat traffic running along the SE shore. The `not Rum Runner’ location is the Blockade Runner hotel.
