The Vibe is Chill but the Weather is Too Chilly

Our little Anchorage in nowhere was calm but chilly and provided a superb sunrise. 

We had two bridges that we wanted to go under and the tide was on the rise so we got an early start. The Little Mud River didn’t have a lot of water this morning but it was enough for us to get through. It was certainly not my favorite conditions, long narrow stretches with twists and turns where the channel doesn’t necessarily stay in the middle as you might expect. You spend more time watching the GPS dot on the chart than seeing the scenery. 

We passed by some favorite stops (Jekyll Island and St. Simon) in favor of getting more miles completed. Our original schedule hit major snags so we’re making it up as we go.

We’re happy to report that the giant, ill-fated freighter, Golden Ray, has been completely cleaned up from St. Simon Sound. In 2020, the area was a mess with this giant behemoth stuck on a sand bar on its side. It was carrying Kia cars, trucks and mini SUVs. All lost. Now the area is free and clear.

Then 

Now  

We’re anchored next to Cumberland Island. Wild horses! They looked up when I neighed at them but it startled Mike so much that he missed the shot. 

Tomorrow we head to Amelia Island and the Fernandina Marina for about a week. This evening we enjoyed Margaritas and Chips & Salsa as the sun went down. It’s still chilly in Georgia.

Total miles south: 634 Temperature tonight vs. Vienna: 6 degrees warmer.
