Today’s destination? I know I said Jericho Creek, but who knows! To be sure it will be an anchorage some where southward. We take advantage of the shore power and have a nice hot breakfast and too much coffee. We pull away from the pier at 0725 and continue the run through the “Rockpile”. The day is kind of uneventful except for a delay at the Socastee Bridge. It’s supposed to be an on demand bridge, but the bridge tender kept us waiting for almost 30 minutes.
Once past Enterprise Landing, we entered the usually beautiful Wacammaw River. Today some of the beauty was muted. The overcast day and cool temperature made everything seem dreary.
By 1500 we had reached the “where do we stop” decision point. Jericho Creek looked mighty inviting so we pulled off to starboard and entered. A little more shoaling at the mouth, but once we got into the creek the water was deep almost to the banks. We dropped the hook about a half mile up the creek hoping for a quiet evening. A local’s gun range could be heard in the distance and thoughts of the movie “Deliverance” popped into my head. At dusk the range quit and we were alone in the dark.
