Wright River (Anchored)

Took it easy this morning as we were waiting for the tide to take us down the Beaufort River. Only expecting a short 35 NM day, planning to anchor in the Wright River tonight.  The anchorage is only be about 10 NM from Savannah, and we will catch the end of the flood tide to ride up the Savannah river in the morning. The weather was perfect all day and we expected a calm night.

Arrived at the anchorage at about 3:30 PM and dropped anchor, but we could not make it set so repeated the process. Second time was a charm - or so it seemed. There was a lot of current and it would change a couple of times while we were there so the anchor needed to be well set. Quiet night, not even a crab boat.
