July 2 – Day 2 – Jekyll Island GA

31°2′48″ N 81°25′22″ W

We are now on the dock at Jekyll Island.

Yesterday was Canada Day so we donned the appropriate clothing & had a parade down the Main Street in St Mary’s.

We left St Mary’s GA at 8:30 am this morning. Lotsa fun trying to get away from the dock with a very swift current trying to push us back into the dock & into the boat in front of us.

A fellow from the boat in front of us offered to help – a kind gesture & some security for him too as he certainly did not want us to get pushed into him.

Long story short, he showed us a reverse-out trick with only the bow line still secured to the dock & in a jiffy we were in full reverse away from the dock & plenty clear of all neighboring boats. Thanks mate – we will remember that maneuver for sure!

The photo above shows our wake with Cumberland Island on our starboard stern.

The trip to Jekyll Island was only 4 1/2 hours – a good pace after a long day yesterday.

We saw lots of dolphins on our route today & a wide variety of seabirds.

About 30 years ago Catherine & I had a golfing holiday on Jekyll Island. We had a lot of fun & still talk about it often. Wish you were here today, Honey!

It’s been really hot & humid here. Time for a shower & to start thinking about dinner.

Cheers everyone!
