Thursday 12/7, we woke to cold and rain in Thunderbolt. That makes it a great day to travel. We cruised the intracoastal with very little other boat traffic. In GA, there is an area called Hell Gate. It has earned its name and has lots of notations on Active Captain. We went through without incident though. Hell Gate was heavenly at high tide. For the night, we pulled off the ICW in the Crescent River anchorage. It was a peaceful, wide anchorage with good holding. But it was cold! We kept the generator on and kept the heat on in our bedroom.
Friday 12/8, we pulled anchor to head for Jekyll Island, GA. It was still cold all day. We are very dry in our salon and run from the helm there. We are snuggled in our sweatshirts. We started out early so we had a rising tide to help us through the shallow areas without any problems today. At St. Simon's Sound, we safely crossed paths with the Emerald Princess.
It was time for a late lunch after we pulled into Jekyll Harbor Marina. Their marina restaurant is very good. I had a salad and shrimp and grits. Other boats here were decorated for Christmas with trees and figures.
So it was time for me to pull out my Christmas lights for the Hydrophilic. Fa la la la la!
Neither John not I felt like much dinner so we had appetizers, Irish coffees and dessert. The rain has not let up though. As I write this, we have thunder and lightning and pouring rain. Tomorrow, we hope for the end to the rain and some sunshine as we cross into Florida.
