Bass Creek 4/11/2012

This looks like a serene anchorage in Bass Creek, an offshoot of Parrot Creek in South Carolina. There is nothing to see but swamp grass and no noise to disturb us. NOAA called for 5-10 knots from the north so we anchor in the middle of the river and only put out 50' of chain....it's only 8.8' deep. At 1:30 in the morning we awake to 32 knots of wind and we rush out on deck to see nothing but water...we have a 9' tide! No sleep til 4:30!
