[QUOTE=".Mike, post: 441963, member: 22637"] I wish that were true around here. Most of our "fast" travel is on the Wilmington River, running between tidal creeks. The river starts at the Savannah River, and ends in the Atlantic at Wassaw Sound. 17.3 miles total length. The tide pushes up from the ocean, but partially drains upstream into the river. It is strange. At the sound, there is red marker 20 and green marker 21 . As you approach the Savannah river-- traveling inland from the ocean-- the markers rise in number. At a certain point, numbers start going back down again. At the ocean, red buoys are on the north shore of the river. At some point, they swap, and red markers are on the south shore of the river. As a new boater, it is a confusing mess. Nobody out there seems to know exactly where to go. Every time we go out, I kind of hope we get pulled over so I can ask some specifics on how to properly navigate the river. I have taken several online safety courses, and watched a ton of videos. None seem to apply to my experience. The DNR does free safety courses, but they canceled the last one. We plan on going to the next one. [/QUOTE]
