Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - We're in St. Simons

We stopped at the Golden Isles Marina in St. Simons. We needed fuel since it's 50 miles to the next fuel stop on the ICW at Isle of Hope. It rained most of the morning and was generally dismal but the sun is coming out now. We ran aground once today in 4.8 ft. of water, but it was a rising tide so we gave it a few moments and she floated off. We transited the dreaded Jekyll Creek today, one of the waterway's infamous shallow spots with no issues. We hope to go play tourist in a bit to explore historic St. Simon's Island. I would love to hear that the wind has changed directions since we're right here at the Inlet and it looked to be a really wide and safe inlet. If it's predicted to blow NE still though, it makes no sense for us to go "outside".

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!!!
