May 21 — Adventure awaits in New Tea Kettle Creek

When we cruised from Charleston to the Keys, a highlight was the night we spent “on the hook” at New Tea Kettle Creek. Had to do it again!

Alas, not quite as wonderful as our stop with Roger and Will in March, 2014.  If you are reading Roger & Will, thank your stars that you are not with us. The setting is just as beautiful and remote with thousands shades of green across the marshes. BUT, the green flies are alive and active, so we’ve hunkered down inside (which ain’t all bad). AND, amazingly, the ATT signal is strong (better than it was in Titusville). So we are set with music, TV and other entertainments (Psych! Oh yeah!).

Gorgeous views along the way.

 

Happy stop with Roger and Will at New Tea Kettle Creek 2014.

 

We had a lovely steak dinner with salad and corn on the cob. Definitely up town.

Yum!

 

Leaving Jekyll Island Marina was a bit of a trip. The Queen Mary (not quite…but a VERY big yacht) cruised in after we were docked and scooted right up to our bow. Cliff figured out how to “spring” out of the dock — very handy sailing knowledge even on a power boat. (You see, we haven’t gone completely to the dark side!)

The Canira….111 feet, sleeps 8, staff of 6. Very luxe, BUT they aren’t doing it on their own, are they?!

 

Anchoring in New Tea Kettle Creek was the first “trial” of our new anchor and swivel. Worked like a champ! (Thank you Alan!)

Anchoring was a breeze!

Don’t worry about us out here all alone, I am sure some of the nearby natives will be glad to give us a helping hand:-) And Cliff locked the doors and turned on the deck alarm!

Cozy? One of six “houses” we saw along the ICW today.
There’s a house in there.
This was weird….what looked like a dock, but running parallel to the water. Bridge to nowhere?
This house actually looked occupied.

 

Tomorrow we head to Savannah for two days. We’ll spend one museum going and EATING.
