At 9:30 am, December 6th, we rode the tide and current out of Charleston, SC to experience the Georgia waterways. The rivers and creeks were narrow, shallow with bends and turns along the way. You really had to pay attention and maneuver through the shallows. We had 2 paper charts, computer chart, and the chart plotter to guide us, along with Paula's watchful eye and binoculars. I admit, we did find the bottom a few times and had to wiggle our way out of the mud.
The Georgia shoreline was mostly uneventful marshland. Occasionally we would pass large homesteads surrounded by live oaks drenched in Spanish moss.
Stops along the way:
Dawho River ~ channel marker 117
Beaufort ~ for supplies
Isle of Hope
Cattle Pen Creek
Back River
Jekyll Island
Abandoned Island home...maybe a summer destination.
Doboy Island.
Oak trees covered in moss.
Sunset at our Jekyll Island anchorage.
