GL: Frederica River, Georgia

[Paul Brannon]

Bob,

We took the Fredrica river in 2007 and had no problem with our 4' draft.  We 
entered from the South and exited North.  We anchored just off the fort.  No 
problems.  You can see where we anchored on our blog if you go back far 
enough.  The site is www.mvseasea.blogspot.com.
