Being on an inland lake, in the south, in the summer, makes you respect the weather and how quickly things can change. I always have my iPhone with me on the boat and keep an eye on the radar. The tree line limits the sight distance.

It was very handy the last time we did the river trip down to Charleston. We had thunderstorms crossing our path about halfway down. Backtracked a couple of miles and waited for them to clear, then hit an opening to make it down to the harbor. Without the weather app it would have been messy and dangerous.

How far up river from Charleston can you go with a boat that draws 5
1/2 ft and has an air draft of about 20 ft?
