	Wassaw Sound, Georgia Oceanside… This is another Inlet entrance into the coast that needs your attention. It is great on a good day, but not on a bad. The beginning buoys have a zig –zag layout. They are changed often because of the shoaling. The buoys are small so on a bad day the waves make them obscure. They are also spread very far apart, making it difficult on a good day. Again, a Chartplotter and Radar would be great, but when a buoy is in a trough, even Radar can’t find them. Starting at the R “2W” buoy from Offshore, the first buoys are G “9” and R “10” listed on chart. The other 6 or so buoys in-between are the ones that get moved a lot. They are in that Zig – Zag formation, keeping you in the good waters. So on a good day there is no problem…just watch your depth. The Tide/Current play a big role here, so stay alert. G “13” and R “14” are getting you closer in. Stay in the channel and just watch your buoys and markers. When you get around Wassaw Island, things will get more comfortable…but don’t let your guard down. Stay within your buoys and markers. br< This Inlet gets you quick to Savannah, and I have used this several times in good to fair weather. Just stay with the right buoys, don’t miss one by mistake… It is too shallow if you miss a buoy…. but I know once the waves start, I stay away…. There are places to throw the anchor once inside, if you had a long Offshore journey and need the rest. You feel the Southern touch of Georgia as soon as you get in shore. **This is only to be used as a guide and prudent Captains will always refer to proper sources for Navigation, such as US Government Charts & Books Name: Email: Inlet: Please note: Only your name will be displayed to other users.
