Bumpy Passage through Jekyll Creek, AICW Statute Mile 683
There has been much discussion on depths through Jekyll Creek which has been a perennial AICW Problem Stretch, as Capt. Burns conveys below. We strongly suggest that cruisers time their passage of Jekyll Creek for mid to high tide!
Issues reported here [on the Jekyll Creek AICW stretch] with shallow water just north of the Jekyll Island bridge are true. We departed near low tide and expected to be OK with our 4.5′ draft. We did make it through but bumped several times starting just south of Marker 19″ .
