    Chartkits are simple, mostly dependable and reasonably priced. I use them
    along with my Garmin chartplotter.

    Norm,
    Why would you need digital charts or any chart for that matter to get to
    Savannah from the ICW?
    All you have to do is turn upriver and travel a couple of miles on the
    Savannah River from the ICW.
    As for your "Georgia sucks" comment *most everytime* you mention Georgia or
    Savannah....what if everytime I had a chance I posted...."Sailboats without
    masts suck", or "concrete boats suck"....get my drift? You certainly have
    the right to your opinion.....and my opinion is that this is unnecessary.

    Yes I live in Georgia and my boat is in Savannah....but I will move it to
    Florida when I move aboard because of the no liveaboard law in Georgia. I
    suppose that is the basis of your comment.
    Georgia is a wonderful state to work and raise a family.......but not to
    liveaboard. Savannah is a charming place to live or visit with a great
    varity of things to see and do including the history.
    (We do have great access to the Atlantic!)
