The Route: Georgia through the Carolinas

To complete our loop and "cross our wake," we'll continue traveling up the East Coast along Georgia and through the Carolinas. From Jacksonville to Norfolk, we'll have the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) and plenty of inlets and sounds.

In Georgia and South Carolina, the tides change every 6 hours and 15 minutes, resulting in two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. This shift can create a rather significant 8-foot change in water level. We'll need to pay very close attention when anchoring and cruising.
