To catch up on our dates, the following happened. Saturday, Oct. 18th, we stayed in Beaufort for an extra day. It was rainy and cold that day, so we did not want to travel.
Sunday, October 19th, we arrived in Savannah, Georgia. Took the Trolley stop tour and learned many historical references of Savannah. We stayed until Monday afternoon. We docked at the city dock, which was in the heart of the downtown area. Thanks to a great Dockmaster, Chaze, who helped us dock and took our mail to the post office. Thanks Chaze, for all of your help.
We ate lunch at Paula Dean's restaurant. It was delicious! After a brisk walk back to the boat, we departed to go further into the Georgian coast. The Georgia sawgrass on the banks of the ICW is beautiful. It is almost prairie like. We docked this evening at Kilkenney Creek. It is a quaint country marina that looks like a gentlemen's fish camp. Danny helped us dock. He's lived on Kilkenney Creek all of his life. In fact his father bought the marina years ago and he is now the owner. The pace here is slow and easy. Even the otter we saw cross the creek this evening while sitting on the back of the boat was in no hurry. We are happy to be docked and there was a crossing called; "Hell's Gate," that we were nervous about. All notes and references we have read in regards to this spot stated boldly to cross on high tide only, "NO JOKING." We crossed this area and yes it was high tide. Hallelujah another difficult area accomplished. The weather is cool and the mosquitos on the back porch will tote you off. We ate leftovers from our Saturday night supper at Vic's and are now retiring for the night. As they say in Georgia:
I'll see yall later.
