Brrrrrrrrrr. It is 26 degrees this morning anchored out on the Crescent River. Fortunately, we bought a dual control electric blanket the other day. That combined with the reverse cycle AC has kept us comfortable. I am loving the lower helm station also on these cool days.
We traveled from Hilton Head to Isle of Hope on the 16th. Isle of Hope is a charming little historic community along the Skidaway River near Savannah. Had another good time in Savannah on the 17th. Great lunch at Vic's then toured one of the old mansions that once hosted the Marquis de Lafayette. We had cocktails at "17 Hundred 90" a B&B that dates back to that time. At Happy Hour the bar was full of men, regulars that have been coming there for 30 years. Met some real characters. One in particular had just competed in an open water, 5.1 nautical mile swim from Tybee Island to Hilton Head. He was 70 years old. He was very kind and drove us back to Isle of Hope.
The picture shows the approach drive to Wormsloe Plantation at Isle of Hope that dates back to 1739. We are now working our way though Georgia. We will be in Jekyll Island tonight and St. Marys tomorrow night.
For those of you that like Google Earth you can go to http://www.greatloop.org/Mapping/membermap.php?=937 and see the places we have been and our route on Goggle Earth. I just discovered how to do this and I am still inputting some of our early itinerary, but it is kind of neat.
