Our first sailing cruise from Florida, to the coast of Maine, and all that happens on the way.

What can I tell you about our day in Savannah. The day began at 7:30 am with a wet walk in the vicinity of the riverfront. It was a dismal day; despite the weather we took a walking tour of the town. We loved the fact that the town has 24 historical squares where you can read the history of the town. Savannah played a very big part in the Revolutionary War. We walked from square to square learning all about it. We also took in a church that was the first Catholic church in this area, it was very reminiscent of the churches in Europe. After maybe 2.5 hours we were just as wet as we needed to be and Bella was a drowned rat, so we choose to return to the Windward Spirit. We have been lucky enough to still be at the riverfront docks and nobody has come by to check us out - yeah, we are still here for free. You gotta love that...bonus...!! The tankers and container ships constantly ferry up and down the river to unload and load their wares. I really can't get over the volume of the ships. And they continue to rock our world...the motion of the river sometimes goes with the pulse of the day. After we dried out, we left Bella behind and went for a cocktail and bucket of oysters, Man were they good...I've been really craving them too. We waited to hear from my niece Michelle, and her husband Gary, with Zach and Danielle, that they had arrived. We went to their hotel and visited for a couple of hours, till it was pretty late. We are so happy to see them and have missed their presence in our lives. Bascially, not much to report today as we haven't left the dock for any other ports. Hopefully we will have more to report tomorrow.

The church is absolutely beautiful. Will you be seeing Gary and Michelle again, if so, tell them we said hi. Take care for now.
