Palmetto Bay Marina, Hilton Head, SC

Our long time good friends, Bev and Ernie, visited us on the boat at Hilton Head

Palmetto Bay Marina on Hilton Head

Met up with our friends on Full Circle--they were coming out of Broad Creek as we were entering. They waited for the ferry behind them to take the "dangerous" passage so they could follow. We will see our friends in a couple of days.

Anchorage, Herb River, Ga

5800 miles and we are still talking!!!

Our neighbors for the evening--they got a little rowdy and we thought we might ask them to quite down but realized we were the intruders!

I think we might get some rain!

Ospery do not care where they live

Finally saw someone catching a fish!

Anchorage, South River, Georgia

More sunset--it's nice to be back at anchor on the boat and seeing these spectacular scenes

We were treated to a beautiful sunset.

As you can see we are in the Low Country of Ga

More of the rainbow!

After about 33 miles we were discouraged from going further by a thunderstorm. The good thing about rain is a rainbow!

We were met by LittlEd as we were leaving Brunswick, Ga.

After taking two weeks off the boat to go to a Brennan Family reunion and get our grandkid fix, we are on the move again.

Brunswick Landing Marina, Brunswick, Georgia

We're in the middle of a Nor'easter as you can tell by the grey skies. Three days of rain and heavy wind so far. So we decided to rent a car and head for home earlier than planned and will visit with family and friends for the next 2 weeks.

Brunswick Landing Marina is a huge marina with nice new floating docks, free laundry (important to us Loopers) and reasonable rates.

View from our bow - all the shrimp boats are in port waiting for the winds to die down.

Nearby paper mill, common in this area. You really know it's there when the wind blows if the wrong direction!

Brunswick Landing Marina, Ga

We will wait out the weather here at Brunswick Landing Marina. There is a nor'easter forming off the coast.

Mumford Creek--is it anything like Mumford Cove?

Kings Bay

Sub at Kings Bay

Kings Bay Sub base, huge drive-in submarine degaussing unit (degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating an unwanted magnetic field), with this great equipment how can Groton Sub Base compete!

One of the walking paths on the island. The National Park Service owns about 85% of the island.

Ferry from St. Mary's to Cumberland Island. Only means of getting to the island other than anchoring off and dinghy in. The Island has quit a history--Indians, Spanish (1500's), British, Andrew Carnegie's brother built a mansion here.
