Wow.. have cruisers noticed the mention that they are going to take away from the public anchorage to shift the channel over? The anchorage that’s there is already one of the more difficult anchorages to deal with along the coast. There are numerous derelicts and the reversing current requires a lot of spacing between properly anchored vessels. When the wind picks up the chop gets fairly significant and requires even more scope. In other words, there’s not much room right now in the anchorage, and they’re looking to reduce its size? Their cost of building new slips is less than dredging. I get that, but what happens in another 10 years when they lose even more room to shoaling. Put a marina management plan in place to deal with the shoaling rather than taking away from the only `real’ anchorage in Charleston! I’d be curious who to contact to express an opinion.
