South Channel Anchorage
South Channel Anchorage
Statute Mile: 843
Lat/Lon: near 29 03.557 North/080 54.846 West
Location: north-northeast of the ICW’s flashing daybeacon #19
Minimum Depth: 7-feet
Special Note: shoaling at the intersection of South Channel and the AICW is now making successful entrance into this anchorage difficult, and these waters host strong tidal currents. We are downgrading our estimate of this overnight haven to “emergency only” status
Swing Room: sufficient room for vessels as large as 55 feet
Foul Weather Protection: Poor; fair weather anchorage only
Rating:

Tide moves too fast and there is bad shoaling. Boats go through sideways during a flow. Hit bottom 2 times with 5.8 keel, then finally got through with local help. You would be safer crossing the gulf stream with a north wind.
