Beaufort - Taylor Creek

• Location: Beaufort
• Mile Marker: Mile 204
• Lat / Lon: N 34° 42.850' / W 076° 39.833'
• Depth: 7-10 Feet
• Description:

  The swift tidal current and the close quarters dictate that you use caution when anchoring. Anchor only on the southern side of the channel and consider using a Bahamian moor (two anchors in opposite directions, usually up and down the direction of the current), especially if other boats nearby are also using a Bahamian moor or are on moorings. This will help to limit your swinging distance and better plant yourself in the swift currents. Be mindful of the precipitous shoaling along the southern side of the anchorage. 

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
