Tides and Grass

Day #48: Georgia's grass lands seem to stretch forever. The 8' tide has a dramatic affect on both us and what we see. One minute we'll be doing 8 knots the next minute barely 5. The water is in a hurry here; either eager to get out to sea or return from it. On today's falling tide our speed increased heading into the sounds and decreased commensurately after crossing them. As the tide kept falling our world view was reduced from wide grassland vistas to only muddy, oyster encrusted banks.

Our 58nm run got us to Thunderbolt, GA, just south of Savannah, and increased our total to 862nm.
