GL: ICW conditions in Georgia

[Jeremy Bell]

We did this stretch about a month ago, at mostly mid-tide rising, with no problems. Minimum of 5-6ft in a few places, but 8ft+ everywhere else.
I'd add:
Fields Cut (N of Savanna River  and
Little Mud River    to the problem area list.

Since Georgia has a 5 - 7 ft tidal range, as you know, thats the most important factor. 
Right now the 'low high' is around 10am, so travel from dawn to 1pm or so looks promising.
Around Jan 9th it gets ugly for a week or so: the 'low low' tide is a negative height (ie below MLW) and occurs around midday. That'll be challenging in some areas of Georgia !!

Good luck.
