After much too long tied to the dock, yesterday we dropped lines and left Brunswick, GA. We spent last night at anchor in St Simons Sound, and are now underway northbound for Savannah. The weather is mild, partly cloudy and calm. We expert to motor the whole way, ad arrive this evening.

This will be our first stop in Savannah. For a long time it was difficult to visit. There are no anchorages near town, and the only place to tie up was the city waterfront, which was convenient, and free, but it was all first-come-first served. Without a reservation, you always risked arriving, and not having a place to stay. Now there is a marina across the River with frequent ferry services to downtown.

We’ll spend a few days there, then jump to Charleston, then on to Annapolis.
