Views of the salt marshes

May 4-6, 2020 – It was a very strange couple of days, boating through the Georgia coastal salt marshes. Curving and twisting through the AICW channel, we navigated a number of tricky spots, waited out the tide one afternoon to make sure we had good depth in one shallow area, and anchored in water that rose and fell more than 9 feet overnight with the tide, the water surging into the river, and out of the river.

Not exactly “teeming” with wildlife, but we did see occasional birds and dolphins

We will make a turn ahead and soon be following this boat up the channel

The moon is now setting, and this shrimp boat fleet is at the dock
A trawler passed our anchorage about 10 last night on his way out – maybe this guy?
Just over the Savannah River, in lower South Carolina…looks the same
Trying to get a sense of the texture and the expanse of the landscape
