We Are On Our Way!

Taking the

Ocean Way

Around

After much preparation, we departed at 10:00A.M. on Tuesday. Paul Graham helped us with our lines and Sue waved us off. Louis settled into his bed ready for the voyage, like a pro.

We motored out St. Simons Sound, well past the offshore three mile limit, and emptied the holding tank. The ocean was like glass with no wind, an excellent day for a blue water cruise. We had planned to travel the Intra Coastal Waterway but, with such calm seas, we stayed offshore, returning at Doboy Sound. The breeze was nice and there were no bugs!

We saw many dolphin pods swimming, several fishing boats and one helicopter and coast guard boat practicing maneuvers.

After 39 miles, we anchored at 4:30 P.M. in the Duplin River behind Sapelo Island, Georgia.

The Hottest Day Yet!

Wednesday

No internet connection last night so we'll send two days in one.

We left Duplin River at 9:00 A.M. in the beginnings of the hottest day yet (heat index of 108). Heat advisories were posted. Stayed in the I.C.W. and enjoyed the marshes, birds and dolphin. There were a lot of pesky biting flies that we swatted all day. Louis hates the both the flies and the fly swatter.

We tried to stay cool with fans and ice water but did little good. An two minute afternoon rain shower cooled us some but then it steamed up again. Didn’t see but one boat all day, could it have been the heat?

Anchored just south of Savannah in Herb Creek at 5:30P.M. After this long hot day, we closed the boat up and turned on the generator and AC. Cool at last after 57 more miles!

Flag on stern of boat tonight.
