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!).
We had a lovely steak dinner with salad and corn on the cob. Definitely up town.
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!)
Anchoring in New Tea Kettle Creek was the first “trial” of our new anchor and swivel. Worked like a champ! (Thank you Alan!)
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!
Tomorrow we head to Savannah for two days. We’ll spend one museum going and EATING.
