AND WE'RE OFF!! Left Brunswick, GA Saturday morning June 15 around 7am rounded the bend and bid a fond farewell to St. Simon's Island. See you on the trip down! good bye Denise, good bye Jenny!

winds were 10-15 kts with seas to 5 ft............it was not a good ride, especially for me........yep, the ol rockn and rollin got to me and I was sea sick. But we finally pulled into Sapelo Sound, dropped anchor and watched the sun set.

Sunday dawned a beautiful day and we headed off up the ICW, Joe looked at the winds and decided to go inside.........THANK YOU JOE!!
We pulled into Isle Of Hope around 2pm and hear, Hey Joe! Cheryl! across the dock was Steve and Judy from Havre de Grace. You could have knocked me off the dock with a feather, I was just thinking about them that very morning, wondering where they were now......I was thinking south.......Virgin Islands or something. but no.....they are heading back north the Havre de Grace. so we went to lunch and talked about our winter........

Next morning I grabbed a marina bike and rode to this lovely plantation. The driveway is the scene from Forrest Gump ....run Forrest Run!!!

Next time we pass thru here I'd like to walk the grounds. The home is not open to the public, it is lived in by a descendant of Noble Jones one of Georgia's first settlers.

Hilton Head! they treated me to a royal staircase to board Fantabulous............Vertically challenged no more!!
Motored out of Harbour Town and up the Calibogue Sound , across Port Royal Sound and into Beaufort, SC.  This is a quaint town, rich in history, antebellum houses, beautiful gardens, a lovely waterfront park. Every one is friendly, nice shops. So glad we stopped here.

Would love to have this in my back yard!
