I agree wholeheartedly with Capain George. Bull Creek has been one of my favorite anchorages for 25 years, even since I’ve been authoring my “Cruising Guide to Coasal South Carolina and Georgia.” If you track your way upstream to the point where the charted high ground marches down to the shores, you will find a spot about as idyllic as it gets (check out the “South Caroina Anchorage Directory here on the Cruisers’ Net for more details!)

A little further south from Bucksport, Bull Creek has some of the most beautiful anchorages on the entire east coast. We anchor there and take the dink to Bucksport and the many surrounding picturesque side waters. We spend an extra day just to enjoy this great cruising destination.

We anchored in Bull Creek on June 13, 2009. The broad anchoring area at the entrance was taken by other boats, so we proceeded about a mile up the creek after the upside-down “U” and anchored where the chart shows 14 feet just past the charted 44 foot depth. Wind was blowing from the west and we wanted to stay in the north-south stretch of the creek for some protection from the wind. The current flowed rapidly over the
shallow area before reaching the deep water, and our anchor trip line buoy was held just below the surface all the time! Anchor (SuperMax with
chain) held just fine, but we were constantly checking for drag due to the current. The current appeared to be more subdued at the bend in
charted 14-16 feet. We were also concerned about tree limbs and some logs that came drifting by in the strong current which seemed to sweep
most debris to the outside of the curve away from us; nothing went bump in the night or fouled the anchor chain, but that was just a matter of
luck.
