Even though 5+ feet of water at low tide in Georgia waters is considered by most to be “good water”, we have had earlier reports of touching bottom in the AICW’s run through Creighton Narrows, which lies at the south end of Front River and just north of the intersection of Crescent River and Old Teakettle Creek.

Georgia AICW mile 642, between markers 155 and 157. Our friends on “Ever After” passed through this afternoon near low tide. They have a 5′ 9″ draft, and were touching bottom going through. “Ever After” recommends favoring the red side through this stretch.

We found very shallow water between 155 and 157 and before that the channel leading up to 155. We draw 5’9’ and had 00 showing, so we must have been ‘˜dredging’ but did scoot through. We were about a half hour before low tide.
