MM 613.5 Kilkenny Creek Marina

They charged $1/foot and $2.50 for electric. Their floating docks are wooden on blue barrels, so you have to walk carefully as they bounce around a bit. When you stop on it, it gives under your weight. The bigger pieces just give a little, but the smaller connector ones dip down a lot. It is like walking on a jungle suspension bridge. Since their pay phone wasn't too reliable, he let me use his only phone line to download e-mail. No cable at the boat, and we could get reception on only two good channels with the antenna. There were several boats anchored up from the marina. The anchorage looked as protected as anything in this flat country ever is. I have no pictures of this area because there's nothing to take a picture of.

Equipment: The chart segment has a mark on it for an anchorage, but the marina (and another anchorage) is farther up the creek. On this chart the marina is on the left right next to the word Kilkenny.

MM 613. 5 Kilkenny Creek Anchorage

There are so few marinas between Thunderbolt and Jekyll Island that a slow sailboat like we are has to anchor.

There is an anchorage on Kilkenny Creek up past the marina but you can also anchor closer to the ICW.

Equipment: Kilkenny Creek at marker #107 is to the right. Favour the right side when entering and anchor in 15 feet . The bottom is mud and good holding.

We customarily anchor in the Wahoo River, and once we anchored north of little St. Simon Island.
