Dare I say say it another beautiful day not a cloud in the sky ,so again at 8.45am we went out into the Atlantic to make it all the way down to St Simons Sound Inlet so we could rejoin the ICW and get to Jekyll Island. The seas were 2' to 3 ' in parts but we had the following sea so not too uncomfortable. Saw a couple of dolphins riding our wake at one point.Rhonda and I tried out the Travel Scrabble I bought.It was fun and easy as the letters interlocked onto the board. However with the rolling seas we decided it was easier to wait for calmer waters.We both started to feel a bit squeamish .We arrived at the sound after about a 5 hour journey and as we entered the sound we saw a group of horses and riders on a trail ride along the water's edge.
A lovely sight. We moored up at Jekyll Island 45 minutes later ,after another somewhat low tide experience through the canal to reach our destination. Watching tides and currents has become a daily pastime since Charleston. The Tide change is 9' in this area.
We finished off the day with a lovely meal at the Jekyll Club Hotel. Very fancy but we had the Sunset dinner and a nice bottle of wine so it was a good deal. Our waiter was still learning the ropes in wait service, so we were able to help him out a bit!Rhonda and I finishes our half completed scrabble game and then the day was over .
