Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah

We are spending the weekend in Thunderbolt, GA, waiting for our new part to arrive tomorrow (Monday).  Yesterday we rode our bikes through Bonaventure Cemetery, made famous in the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."  The temperature is in the 90s and the heat index in well into the 100s.  For the most part, we are hunkered down in Virginia Dare and are thankful for her central air conditioning.  We've played several cribbage "tournaments" and read a few books.

Loved the details and beauty....

Welcome

It's a huge cemetery.  Some roads are paved.  Others are not.  Spanish moss hangs everywhere.

Part of the Jewish cemetery

Lots of magnolias and Spanish moss

Virginia Dare at Hinckley's face dock.  The two sailboats in front of us have been hit by lightning and are having major repairs :(  We've met some great people here!

We hope to be heading north Tuesday morning and are already calculating departure time with high tide at Fields Cut just north of the Savannah River.  The Port of Savannah is very busy.....I lost track of how many freighters we saw in January.  We'll be darting across the Savannah River once again and working our way up to Hilton Head.  Then on to Charleston (might have some good wind!) and points north.  Stay tuned!
