On 9/22/09, as part of a “Georgia Wish List,” I posed the following question:

20. We have had a few reports of shoaling on the “Creighton Narrows” section of the Georgia AICW (near Statue Mile 642). Has anyone noted less than normal soundings while cruising through?

Responses follow:

We came through the Front River/ Creighton Narrows an hour before low tide and got low soundings in two places:
mile 641 just after the bend to the southwest was 6.3 feet with 1.6 feet of tide according to my chartplotter tide graph. That would be in the 4.7 ft range at dead low.
Between marker 155 and 155A we also got soundings of 6.2 feet which would be 4.6 feet at low tide. I stayed right on the magenta line. I’m glad we had the extra 1 1/2 foot though we draw only 3.5 Ft.
