Salt Marshes of Georgia Coastal Georgia has more deep, long creeks and rivers than the South Carolina low country. They thread their serpentine courses through the marshes. On board, our view is of only marsh grass, sky and our own small ribbon of water. The grass reaches towards infinity except to the west where occasionally a dark line of far distant trees defines the horizon. While travelling in the marshes we can see the masts of other sailboats miles away as they make their own progression along. The morning sunrise on the mist in the marshes gave us a gorgeous start to the day.
