On this southward ICW trek, we can anchor in peaceful locations or tie up at marinas along the way. While anchoring is usually our preferred choice for the evening, sometimes marinas just make sense, like last night, with winds gusting to 30 knots. Both options have pros and cons, but the last two marinas we stayed in (Thunderbolt Marina just south of Savannah and Golden Isles Marina on Lanier Island) delivered breakfast treats each morning! What a pleasant surprise!

| Six(!) warm Krispy Kreme Doughnuts delivered to your boat every morning at Thunderbolt Marina....what a sinful treat! |
 |
| Two muffins and a newspaper delivered to your boat each morning at Golden Isles Marina.....nom, nom, nom! |
Many, many miles of this trip have been through marshland (particularly in the south). Some days we won't even see another boat! Other times, we glide right through very busy ports. Here are some scenes from the last three days.
 |
| We see lots of birds (this is along the ICW between our Wahoo Island anchorage and Lanier Island, GA) |
 |
| Pelicans huddling close to the warm rocks....it was 45*F when this was snapped. |
 |
| And then suddenly, you see livestock! Crazy! |
 |
| Lots of shrimp boats, some rustier than others. |
 |
| Jekyll Island, GA |
 |
| We have a 56' mast......most fixed bridges are 65' (thankfully). |
 |
| ICW in St. Andrew's Sound takes you almost to the Atlantic Ocean........it was a topsy turvy ride until we headed back inland at R32 (and no, I did not get seasick! :) |
 |
| A beached nav aid and an abandoned lighthouse on Little Cumberland Island |
 |
| :) |
 |
| Kings Bay (naval nuclear sub station) -- unfortunately, we did not see a sub |
 |
| At the ready |
 |
| The degaussing station (eliminates the magnetic field when a submarine returns to port). |
 |
| Fort Clinch |
 |
| Industry on the St. Mary's River |
 |
| More industry |
 |
| A wrecked shrimp boat (it was cloudy and drizzly and in the mid-50s most of today) |
