The AICW follows the narrow, man-made canal known as Hell Gate between the Vernon and Ogeechee Rivers. These waters have been an “AICW Problem Stretch” for years.
As of 4/24/2013 at 08h55:
Egg Island tide data: H – 07h32
At 08h55: +6.6 against + 7.6 on my Garmin CP almanac…
Readings: NB, One-half way between G91 and R89: 13.4′
At R90: 15.1′
At G89: 14.1′
100 yards north of G89: 12.8′
So, control depth at normal low would be 12.8′-6.6′ or 6.2′. Less for celestial low tides.
