| Jekyll Island Marina |
Stayed at Jekyll Is. a few days. Very interesting history. Late 1800s
private club for Rockefellers, etc. Now State owns it and is doing restoration
of old homes from club era. Rode bikes all over the island and also took a
guided tour.

BRUNSWICK LANDING
GEORGIA

Stopped at Brunswick Landing to fill up with $1.75/gal diesel and, due to
weather, stayed a couple of days. Met some really nice people there, Mike and Robin, took us
provisions shopping in their car. The place had free laundry, and, get this,
free beer all day in their very nice lounge.
Also met Mike and Cyndie on
Imagination. Traveled with them the next two days.

From Brunswick we anchored out on the Crescent River on our way here,

Isle of
Hope Marina, which will serve for our Savannah base. There are docks at city
front but also constant wakes from tugs, ships, tour boats. Not good
security either and no on-shore facilities. So side-tie docked here yesterday in strong
current between two other yachts, very tight, only a couple feet fore and aft.
Encountered another couple, Phil and Sally, on a boat we'd met earlier at St. Augustine, so enjoyed going to dinner with them last night. Oddly, they are from Alameda. Also on the
Loop.

They are shooting the movie Bay Watch here at the Marina. Should be
interesting to see. Our boat will be in the background. I offered to star in
the episode but have had no response yet.
