Barefoot'n Adventures in Georgia

Hey Ya'll!
We are in Savannah!  Georgia has been lots of fun.  We arrived in Isle of Hope Marina, GA (which is right outside Savannah).  The weather was quite stormy yesterday, which made out trip on the Atlantic 'interesting' coming into Wassaw Sound Inlet.  The storms continue today, but hopefully we will get out this afternoon and do some exploring.  The island is quite charming with lots of beautiful houses.  The marina provides complimentary cars, bikes and are very friendly.  

Here are the places that we have visited in Georgia:  

• Cumberland Island - Saw the Dungeness Estate, the beach with all the sand dunes, wild horses & turkeys, and lots of trails

 

• Jekyll Island
• Brunswick Island - Walked thru the old downtown, paper mills nearby
• St. Simon's Island - Lighthouse, lots of restaurants and shops.  Used taxi to get into town.  Ate at Brogans.

• Isle of Hope & Savannah - Where we are currently.  

Tuesday, March 19 - Today is our last day in Florida!  We stopped yesterday in Fernandina Beach, FL.  It is a very quaint town and the marina is nice.  Tomorrow, we will head for St. Simon's, GA.  

March 14th Update

Hi Everyone!
Barefoot'n is now at the Titusville Municipal Marina.  We will leave at the crack of dawn for Halifax Yacht Club (Daytona Beach).  Randy heard that there was a little event called Bike Week going on .  From there, we will head to St. Augustine and be there for a couple of days.  The weather has been pretty typical for this time of year.....BREEZY!  But really, it has been nice.  The marinas along the way have all been great.

So, in order, here is where we have visited in the last 2 weeks:  Field Club, Pelican Bay (on anchor), St. Charles YC, Royal Palm YC, Owl Creek Boatyard (for some minor repairs), Roland Martin at Clewiston, Sunset Bay Marina at Stuart, The Moorings YC in Vero Beach, Vero Beach City Marina, Eau Galle YC, Titusville Municipal Marina (at present).

Heidi is doing well.  She has been lucky in that we have only done one anchor out so far.  We are still trying to convince her to use her new 'on-board facilities' (pee-pad).

Until next time, we miss everyone and hope all is well back home.

Well, here we are!  Barefoot'n has started the Great Loop and we are on day 3 at St. Charles Yacht Club in the Fort Myers area.   All is well, but a bit windy and chilly.  Our plan is to make Owl Creek Marina on Monday morning for some minor repairs.  After that, we can slow the pace down and enjoy our trip across Okeechobee.  More later!
