Thoughts on Cruising the Georgia AICW/Coastline
Below, we present some cruising wisdom concerning the Georgia portion of the AICW, from a veteran cruising duo! Take their words to heart! It’s GOOD advice!
Cruisers should not be afraid of shallow waters in Georgia, but they should be cautious. A review of the online resources The Salty Southeast Cruisers’ Net (AICW Problem Stretches and Navigation Alerts) and Active Captain hazard markers will provide information on all areas of concern. The review should be done with charts in front of you so that you can
annotate problems areas directly on the charts.
We have just completed a month of cruising and anchoring on the Georgia Coast. Our experience was that the problems areas were not as shallow as some have reported. Those who experienced skinny water may have been out of the center of the channel. With 7 foot tides and a little planning, one should always be able to have plenty of water under their keel.
