I would like to take my Endeavour 32 down to Florida from NC offshore,
on a coastwise route, over a series of six weekends. I would be
interested to hear from sailors in the Charleston, St. Simons Island,
New Smyrna Beach, and Stuart areas, about the feasibility of leaving the
boat unattended at anchor for up to a month at a time in between trips,
in those areas, and any suggested anchorages. Thanks.

What about Georgetown, SC? There are a bunch of boats anchored
within hailing distance of the waterfront boardwalk, near businesses and
people. Some boats are on cans and others just anchored. Some look like
they've been there awhile! I don't know what the deal is, whether you're
officially allowed to be there or not, if there's any cost, or whether
your boat is likely to be broken into; but it seems like a safer than
usual place, close to people and businesses.

So it's worth exploring. If anyone knows more, please post back because
I'm interested myself.
