"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Mark Twain

Georgia

    We are now in the state of Georgia. When we leave one state and travel in to the next we always seem to find new challenges. This one has  a 9ft tide and, and lots of spots that you really got to pay attention. We need 6 feet of water under our boat so we have to time it right to get where we want to go. This causes us to take it in small chunks. But the good news is we are right beside Florida. The weather has been warm, high 70s.
  We have spent the last few days at some of the most beautiful and peaceful anchorages that you could imagine. We are buddy boating with Suzanne and Terry, on Chasseur who we met way back in New Jersey.


 Dolphins swim around the boat all night long. When they come to the top of the water the only thing that you hear in the dark, is a loud burst of air as they exhale.
 Another thing we have found again is bugs, gnats, mosquitoes, and other flying insects. The other morning I swore I had seen a hummingbird dart inside the boat then quickly fly away. Later on that night I almost fell in the water when I realized that it was just a huge moth. It even hummed.
There are lots birds here, our favourite are the egrets who came to roost in a tree directly behind us.


Because we are in the swampy lowlands our Internet or cellphone connections have not worked in days. Hope it hasn't caused any alarm, we are fine. We have taken long walks on roads that are covered in with hugh Live oaks draped in spanish moss.



  Tomorrow we are sailing to an island that has wild horses.
