I took the photo above at sunset last night where we were docked at Jekyll Island.<\/p>\n

Our plan was to get up early this morning & try to get to Savanna-or at least as close as possible. That plan was foiled by a potable water supply mystery on the boat.<\/p>\n

When we woke up the fresh water pump was running & our water holding tanks were empty. This was a surprise because the two tanks on board hold well over 100 gallons & we had not used that much since we left Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

No evidence of any major leaks so we filled up the tanks & cast off at 9:00am. I will keep a close eye on the water system to determine if there is a leak or if we just used it all up. Meanwhile I will keep the electric water pump turned off unless we need it for dishes, etc.<\/p>\n

Our original goal for today was to get to a marina that was about halfway to Savannah but there were no spaces available at any of the ones we contacted. So, on to plan B – to find any marina with space that was on our route north. It cannot be that hard to find a dock on Independence Day Long Weekend, can it? 😉<\/p>\n

Well, the answer to that question is yes. What else should I expect on the biggest holiday weekend of the summer – with exceptional weather for boaters?<\/p>\n

Fortunately we found a spot for the night at a marina called Two Way Fish Camp. It is just off the ICW on the Altamaha River & a few miles south of Darien GA.<\/p>\n

This place is a bit off the ICW “beaten path” but it is a great place to stop with very friendly people & a nice restaurant on the dock. The scenery on the river in to the marina was beautiful & a bit exciting as there were some very narrow channels to navigate with mud banks & sandbars looking to greet us if we let our attention slip even for a moment!<\/p>\n

Thank goodness for GPS & excellent charting by the US government. I simply don’t know how boaters managed before those resources existed.<\/p>\n

We spotted several Ospreys nesting in dead treetops along the river shoreline just south of the marina. Looks like they have a prime spot for getting their dinner each day.<\/p>\n

We pulled into the dock just as thunder started to boom & a heavy downpour was threatened but never materialized.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will try to make it to a marina just outside of Savanna & spend a day exploring the city. Wish us luck getting there!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
