    • Depths on Cane Patch Creek Less That Charted Soundings (Statute Mile 608.5)

      Cane Patch Creek is one of several streams that break off from Upper Bear River, east of the AICW. All of these streams offer a wealth of overnight anchorage opportunities. Below, Captain Chis reports depths on Cane Patch are a bit less than charted, but still plenty for most cruising craft.

      At the Cane Patch Creek off the Buckehead River at 1 hour before Low, we found the center line depths to be at least 4 feet less than charted (still 12 feet, though).  Starting with the charted 35 foot
      spot at the first "jog" depths ran truer to the chart.
      We anchored 2 hours before being blasted by a blue-green squalll with 52 knot winds from the west with the average wind in the high 30s for about 20 mins. We didn't budge. (All chain, 50# Delta, 11+ ton sailboat.). We'd call this a hurricane hole — at least for winds. It's too close to the coast and would be a storm surge sluice.
