Anchorages are mostly unavailable through this section of the ICW. The channel is narrow, straight, and man-made. The depths go to only a few feet as soon as you get out of the channel.
We took an overnight slip at the new St. James Plantation marina, a new facility in a planned community mostly devoted to golf. It was a beautiful place with a nice restaurant, but we felt like we were in a Hollywood set for The Stepford Wives.
We walked several miles around the neighborhood and the golf course, the had dinner at the restaurant with the crew of "Wild Oats", a Brewer 44. Tomorrow more of the same.
