Glad someone else covers the Savannah River upstream of the city of Savannah. We end our coverage of this storied river at Savannah, in “Cruising Guide to Coastal South Carolina and Georgia.Ã’šÃ‚

I was in Augusta GA yesterday and talked with the dockmaster whom has written a cruise guide covering anchorage points between Savannah and Augusta. It’s deep and well covered by trawlers, houseboats and bass boats. There are only ramp landings on the river, without any marinas. It’s 201 miles of winding, butÃ’šÃ‚ very scenic river to the Augusta River (downtown)Ã’šÃ‚ Marina, that will take 3 days at trawler speed. Anchor or tie up at the boat ramp landings, or on straight stretches to avoid early am fishing boats. They haveÃ’šÃ‚ diesel at $3.49 (9/8/2008) & gas. On the ICW at Savannah your lucky to find $4. Ã’šÃ‚ Slips are $7 ft. Great spot. I will be heading up the river with my Carver 3007 diesel,Ã’šÃ‚ mid November for the winter. The dockmaster say’s no special prep for winter other than draining drinkingÃ’šÃ‚ water lines and tank.
