Georgia Georgia

We are working our way north at a leisurely pace, which is about 30 miles each weekday. We completed the entire ICW through Georgia for the first time. This completes for us all of the ICW between Norfolk and Fort Lauderdale. Through Georgia we have to travel during mid tide and higher since the tidal range is 8 - 9 feet. With our short travel days we just plan around the tide table. We have had to deal with an onslaught of No-See-Ums. These are particularly nasty insects since the screens which keep out almost all pests are not fine enough to stop the No-See-Ums. Any screen fine enough to stop them will also stop the air flow. It has been rare for us to encounter insects so we are not really complaining.
The wonderful aspect of the Georgia coast is that is mostly undeveloped. Much of it is as pictured. This picture was taken at high tide.
