CODA : Changes in latitude. Exploring Georgia.
2 April 2025
Kilkenny Marina, Kilkenny Creek, Kilkenny, Georgia
Two Bros Island anchorage where we briefly ran aground leaving this morning.
Marc- We allowed extra time before our departure this morning in order to have enough water present to get though the notoriously shallow Little Mud River. This 5 mile passage is limited to 3 feet of water at low tide and we like to have 6 feet of water under us before going anywhere (Coda can get through with 5.4 feet). Our only problem was getting started. Once out of our little side creek anchorage we were fine. No problems the entire day. The water was mostly a brown except when we passed through "Sounds" with access to the North Atlantic Ocean. The best part of the trip was going through Saint Catherines Sound. First, we encountered an American Cruise Line ship that our friends Peggy and John Brewster have taken on coastal voyages. Second, was seeing dolphins again. The 10-15 knot southeast breeze was helpful motor sailing the entire day and it helped keep the bugs away.
American Independence
Plenty of room to pass.
Dolphins in Saint Catherines Sound.
Kilkenny Marina docks.
Kilkenny Plantation grounds behind the Marina.
Live oaks and lots of color.
Excellent restaurant next door with amazing view of the Georgia salt marshes.

Marc, is the huge car carrier still lying on its side in the St Simon inlet?
