    • Dewees Creek Anchorage (Staute Mile 455)

      I think the anchorage described by Captain Roy below is the portion of Capers Creek that lies, just as he says, well east of unlighted daybacon #97 (see chartlet), and west of Capers Island. This can be a triicky anchorage to reach safely, and the “ferry wake” described by Captain Roy below would certainly make for a less than pleasant evening!

      Subject: SC Anchorage Dewees Creek MM455
      Message: We anchored our sailboat in the Dewee’s creek anchorage at MM455. This is the one on the east side of the ICW, between Big Hill Marsh and Dewees Island. The anchorage is nice, EXCEPT there is a water taxi that runs hourly to the nearby dock! It doesn\’t slow down for anchored boats, and we were “waked” twice an hour, each time the water taxi arrived and left. This went on until 10 p.m. at night! As long as this !!#$%^#$!! water taxi is running, I would suggest NOT using this anchorage!
