Last-minute lobbying and negotiations are underway in Georgia.
Georgia has, by Administrative Order from the DNR, instituted a 300-foot anchoring set back from marinas and 1,000-foot setback from all structures.

After dropping the hook in all sorts of bottoms, this experienced cruiser explains why sticky mud is his favorite.
