With the full moon, the Georgia tides are truly extreme. They always run about 9 feet. This boat was off once high tide came but yikes it is awful to see . The weather has been grey and cold but this low country is still beautiful. The waterways are winding and snakelike. The curves give good protection in anchorages since there is not much space for a fetch to build up. Creeks can be so deep. As we see shallow waters on our course and in the channel , we have also travelled half a mile or better to get out of 30 foot deep water so we can anchor in a creek! The marsh grasses are gold and green and over 5 feet tall. They are the major feature with trees when visible seeming very distant. Heron are everywhere, fishing on the muddy banks. Their harsh call still surprises me. They are so beautiful that they should have a lovely call too.
