Anchorage Review for Cowen Creek

Reviewed by: John Geerlings on Jan 24, 2021
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 34'
Draft: 4.5'

Anchored on the icon in 12 ft of water close to ebb. Good holding in stiff mud. I had some light easterlies but low fetch, still not very good protection. VERY good from the north and west. Half hour off the ICW. Good overnighter.

Marina Review for The Marina at Edisto Beach

Nice place to be. Nice docks, small marina with grocery beyond walking distance. Far far away parts and no maint services. Walk to great beach. Nice people on dock and store, very accommodating and helpful. Restaurant was closed on my visit.
No laundry. Bath and shower in serious need of upgrade and they were dirty. Still, the good outweighed the bad.

Came in with a potentially serious issue.
Mobile service man came right over and fixed it. Couldn’t be happier with service and skill of repairman. Very nice and professional people to deal with. Almost wish there was more to do.
Very happy camper.

Good place to spend the night with good holding and light current. No cell service with Verizon. Never had less than 8’ at low tide.

Came in at the slack tide still showed 6’ depth. Followed bob423 track in. Very quiet but there are three wrecked boats that spoil the view. Nice spot if your up the channel a bit.

Holed up here for three days for weather Winds 40 kts. Anchor holding is marginal as mud is to soft for a blow. Reset twice. Built up area vacation suburbs. Amenities easily accessed and close.
