@southerncrew, it is more 2024. I’ve been wanting to do this ride for a couple of years now. Would love to join in on the august ride. Are jetskis allowed? 😊

@srileo We're not going on the August ride this year. Jet skis can make it you just have to have a boat bring extra gas for you. We will go on the June trip again next year

@@southern_crew Thanks for the reply! Amazing how a 15 year old thread can be revived! Is it just that you are not going in August or the event itself is not happening? I might do this ride in sections with another jetski. Is there anyone you recommend i get in touch with who knows this river and can offer advise on water levels, dangers etc? Or a way to contact you please?

There is no place to get fuel between Augusta and Savannah so you will have to bring fuel with you. We have seen pontoon boats make the trip they just can't keep up with the group. We average about 35 mph to make the trip shorter. Please let me know if I can help you further

Would that be a problem with any bridges and should we have a chart plotter with current depth ventures aboard ? Thanks
