Thoroughfare Creek
14 April 2011 | Off the Mighty Wacamaw River
Bill: Clear and 70
We had a short run today, about 35 miles to a place that had been marked on our chart since November of 2009. So here we are anchored of Sandy Island on Thoroughfare creek. This is a Nature Conservancy project... and we can see why. as we sit here now we can here the nocturnal bird Chuck Will's Widow calling on shore. The call is like the name. This bird is similar to the more well known but also rarely heard Whip-o-will.
To our north is a sand bank about 20 feet tall, we rowed the dingy over and climbed the bank to find a little lake on the other side of this Sandy Island. The spot is well used, apparently it is a college age hangout on the weekend. Although there is not much trash, the trails and woods are well worn by visitors. Luckily for us there are only two other boats here. One looks like it has been here a while (A steel sailboat converted to a Trawler) and trawler from Essex CT.
Note: entry for 4-13-11 was miss-posted... and it now there!
