On 9/22/09, as part of a “Georgia Wish List,” I posed the following question:

18. Those of you who have anchored on Walburg Creek (off. St. Catherine’s Sound) in 2008, please tell us what you found. Did you use the northern entrance from the Sound, or did you try to make use of the creek’s shallow southerly mouth opposite the Waterway’s unlighted daybeacon #124? Did you spot any of the exotic animals housed on St. Catherine’s Island?

Responses follow:

We anchored there late Nov. 2008 and liked it so well that we dropped anchor again on the way north in May 2009, Both times we entered from the northern entrance.
We found it to be peaceful and uncrowded, plenty of swing room and good holding.
It was so quiet we could hear the dolphins breathing as they swam by.
We woulkd give this a 4 anchor rating

We went through Walburg Creek just to check it out. There was one sailboat anchored in the vicinity of the small private dock. They said they had had an enjoyable, quiet evening – no zebra! The green C which used to mark the middle ground at the northern entrance is no longer there (and I guess hasn’t been for some time because it’s not on our electronic charts. The western entrance which is charted 4 ft would have been 6.1 feet at low tide. In fact the whole last curve at the western endwhich has depths on 19 to 23 feet on the chart would be about 6 feet at low tide.
