Slow Boat thru Georgia Waters

The ICW runs 140 miles through coastal Georgia and the most of it is salt marshes. Since there's so little to see, and we seemed to be one of a very few boats traveling on it, we ran 10-12 hours days.

Sunday was a rough day to cross the Cumberland Sound. The wind was out of the northeast so traveling north was tough. We pulled into Two Way Fish Camp in Brunswick, GA after 12 grueling hours. Fortunately we were docked right beside a restaurant so dinner wasn't a problem.

Moday was an easier day...11 hours before we dropped anchor in Big Tom Creek which has a Richmond Hills, Ga address. There was nobody out there except us and the critters. Did have a nice sunset and perfectly calm water.

Tuesday was another rough day with 15-20 mph winds out of the northeast. We stopped for fuel in Thurnderbolt, GA. The water was so choppy that it swamped Kermit, our dinghy. Because of the chop it nearly sank before we got to where we could stop to bail it out. Ten hours after departure we dropped anchor just across the Savannah River...we were finally out of Georgia.

When we left Eau Gallie on the 15th we had a stow-a-way abroad...a little tree lizard (think that's what it is). We didn't want to throw him overboard so we just let him stay on the bow and he's still with us. Sounds unbelievable so here's proof.
