Are you staying in the ICW through GA? I've never been through that stretch but heard it was shallow.
Looks pretty however with all the marshes and twists and turns.
It is pretty, but too much of it can be a challenge to appreciate. When just passing through and not exploring I think its a little different for everyone.
The Little Mud river just north of Brunswick, Ga is a pretty shallow stretch for quite a few miles I went through at dead low tide with 4 foot draft and no issues but 2 sailboats behind me came to a screeching halt. I cant say they were in the deepest part as sometimes you have to read the banks to figure where the best water is and even that's no guarantee.
A lot of people report shallow spots and I'll bet some weren't even in the channel. After ungrounding boats for 13 years you would be amazed at the number of guys who would say first thing when I showed up "but I'm in the hannel" and some would be at last 50 feet out of it. But to be fair, there are a few stretches where the deepest water to be found at low tide is less than the controlling depth.
