Graham Creek Anchorage (St. M. 439) – Foul Bottom
Hmmmmm! I can’t remember the last time I threw out the hook in Graham Creek. Looks like the bottom in at least part of this anchorage, may very well be foul. Anchor here with the greatest of care!

Cruising News: At ICW mile 339 when anchoring in Graham Creek be aware of cement and rebar debris that can foul ground tackle near 0.1 nautical miles up the creek on the starboard side of the creek

After posting the message above, Captain Stewart sent me the following clarification. Looks like a foul bottom is only a problem on a portion of Graham Creek.
I still will use Graham Creek as an anchorage furthur up the creek where most people anchor. It’s just a problem to starboard and closer to the ICW.
Thanks,
Stewart Force

Cruising News: Claiborne, we’ve anchored in Graham Creek any number of times in the past five years and have never “caught” anything. Perhaps we\’re further back in the creek from where Stewart Force reported catching concrete and rebar!
