Cumberland Island (cont)

Hey again, you can only post so many images at a time.. here are a few more!!

Cumberland Island

We arrived and anchored out just off of Cumberland Island on Saturday afternoon, Nov.28..Still a little cool and breezy...Grilled out and enjoyed a movie...

Sunday was glorious and warm!! Not much of a breeze... I got up early and made ham and cheese biscuits for our picnic on the island... Hopped in the dinghy and arrived on the island around 9:30am.... Words just can't describe the beauty of this island....The trees were just awesome, the vegetation, the beauty...wow... we walked all the way down to the Dungeness Mansion ruins..what a treat... Gen. Nathaniel Green purchased the Island in the 1700s , his widow built the original Dungeness after his passing... It burned and then the Carnigie family built again in 1884 and it stood until 1959 , when it also burned . There are also feral horses on the island and many were grazing in the yards of the mansion.... I've attached some pics...But none really do it justice..

Thanksgiving at Brunswick

Hello again, we decided to stay in Brunswick for Thanksgiving... The Brunswick Landing Marina has a tradition of grilling turkey, steaks, ham, and the boaters all bring a sidedish.. I made a tomato/avocado salad with red onions.... There were probably 75 people and enough food for more... awesome , diverse, dinner..... it was a beautiful sunny but breezy day.. but beats the heck out of cold,raw and rainy and foggy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll attach a couple of pics of the dinner, the sunset, etc...

Brunswick, Georgia

Hi again to all, left out of Savannah on Sunday ,November 22nd.. raw..rainy... day. Decided to try Susan's recipe for baked eggs... turned out yummy and filling on such a yukky day. Went thru an area called Hell Gate.. might I say it was appropriately named!!!!!!!!!!! during which we had rain,fog, and a following sea........whew..... Made our way to Kilkenny Creek to anchor out... nice , quiet anchorage...heated up some awesome lasagne( provided by Janice and Jon ) and crashed...

Monday.. another raw rainy misty day....got underway about 9am.... passed a small cruise ship... The American Spirt... just blew our minds... it was going North... hope it was not going far... very skinny and narrow water ahead of him????????????? Ended up dropping anchor in a little creek along with 3 other vessels, just north of St. Simon's Island...

Tuesday, Nov. 24th, woke up to another misty,raw day.... WHERE IS THE SUN>???????????

Anyway, noticed we had a possible issue with our battery system, so made way up the river to Brunswick Marina.... Very nice Marina.... caught up on laundry, emails, etc... may stay an extra day here and check out the area... seems very nice.... have not made a lot of pics, due to the "wet" weather..... Meeting very nice people along the way... Everyone very helpful, polite and always giving good tips and fun stories................ Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving... we do have much to be thankful for.....

Savannah, GA

Made it upriver to Savannah...Docked at the RiverMarket Place Dock...They had wifi, so gives me a chance to catch up.. May rethink this dockage next time,though... TugBoats and Freighters coming and going all nite.... like,uh, right next to us... But still fun and interesting.. We walked the riverfront and ate at an old Tavern called the Boar's Head... Had some awesome Oysters Rockefeller...I believe this will be our last "dockage" for awhile... will anchor out . Still heading south and still want to make Bahamas sometime first of December...

Beaufort, South Carolina

Hello to all, left Charleston on Monday and made it down to Beaufort. Docked along side our friends 38' Erwin sailboat. Had a glorious time with TP and Susan... they are an awesome couple.Left out Wednesday and made a very short jump to Port Royal for fuel, etc.... saw another friend and they talked us into spending one more nite at Port Royal... I'm telling you, if everyone keeps feeding me, I'm going to have to order new jeans!!!!!!!!! I've attached some pics.. Currently , it's very foggy... sitting tight.....Hope all is well with you guys... Miss you...

We left Carolina Beach on Thursday , made our way to North Myrtle Beach.. docked at Barefoot Plantation for the nite.. very raw weather.. left out Friday am and made our way to an anchorage called Minim Creek... still raw weather... left out from there this am around 8 and made our way to Charleston... Saw lots of bald eagles along the way and Mr. Porpoise popped his head out of the water on our starboard side and said hello 3 times......he was a big guy..... it made my morning....We will be here for a few days then on to Beaufort, South Carolina............ Care to all....
