Vernon River Anchorages (Statute Mile 597)
On 4/22/13, as part of a NE Florida – Georgia Wish List, we posed the following question:
Statute Mile 597 ‘“ Who has abandoned the AICW south of marker #79, and cruised upstream, then anchored, on Vernon River near charted Beaulieu? Please describe your anchoring experience here.

Vernon River? Been there, done that, loved it. Good holding ground. I stayed put through the squall seen in this SBO post:

I had two anchors out. The less experienced crew of a boat nearby just threw out one without really setting it and they only moved a little bit.
Next time south, I plan to explore farther up this river.

On April 18, 2013, I anchored in the area referred to as Breakfast Creek. Plenty of room and good holding bottom. It was peaceful and quiet. Will definitely stop again.
