I know that some of you will be very shocked with what I'm about to tell you. Try not to be scared and nervous. Yes , Yes it is true we have left the state of Florida and into the waters of Georgia!!! Although this must be hard to hear, sooner or later it was bound to happen..We got an early start and up the  waterway we went, still wind on the nose,so it was another day of motoring. I'm sure most of you know but Carl brought something to my attention ,do you realize that all but a few rivers flow north to south, that's right..We have to fight the current as well as the winds so that translates into more fuel costs. Gee I thought we were on a sailing trip, my mistake..The seas are still very high and rough in the Atlantic so we have to stay inside the ditch.The tall ship you will see in the photos is one we saw as we pasted by Fernandina Beach, Fl. At first we thought is was old , then we noticed that the whole stern of the boat was open for a small boat to store inside, and the sides didn't look like they were made of wood, she had a very smooth surface. We think is was some kind of luxury vessel as all the windows had this real pretty decorative film on it. Still very cool to see. It wasn't far up the channel when we saw one of those famous ( you only hear about it in the fishing industry)Georgia jumping shrimp boats!!! The shrimper doesn't even have to put his nets in the water and the shrimp just jump up into it. By the size of the area I would say they were jumbo shrimp at that.. How's that for a oxymoron....We have seen few lighthouses that I failed to get a picture of so I made sure to get one today I got at least one. It seems like there is a lighthouse at most if not all of the inlets from the Atlantic. This one is from St. Simmons Island always cool to see. Later in the day we were sure we must have made a wrong turn somehow, because right ahead of us we saw the Skyway Bridge.. Look for yourself ... You tell me...How did we get back in Fla so fast, we just got out....I guess we are not the only place with a bridge like that...The ICW in Georgia must have many large ships coming thru it as there were many range markers and very deep water most of the day, glad to report we only saw a couple of large tankers docked and a few tug boats.Again we anchored in a very desolate area with no one around only grass flats for as far as we could see, made a pot of beans, put up the screens and watched a movie. That's not all we did , but I'm not allowed to discuss that with everyone. So now you have the skinny of what is going on in our day.

Here's a short update, we are headed into Kilkenny Creek Marina, in Richmond Hill, Ga to wait the storm out. It should be a good place to dock , riding the storm out....remind you of a song.
