Guide
Approach and anchoring
Anchor on mud west of the Charleston City Marina. Protection is from the W, SW and S. Tidal currents run strong here, so allow plenty of scope and set the anchor firmly. Cruisers report concrete rubble on parts of the bottom, so reset if the anchor fails to bite.
Practical
Safe Harbor Charleston City lies 0.2 nm to the NE with fuel and full facilities. Ripley Light Yacht Club is 0.3 nm to the W. The dinghy run reaches downtown Charleston for provisioning.
