Day 4 st Simmons Island

Hi There F&F
After fueling up with a good price at Windmill Marina ,we entered the lock and then out to sea with a favored North/North West direction sea. Was a bit soupy initially but once we were underway down the coast and the wind behind us Kevin took the helm testing out the engines and height of the bow ride as we motored down a nice 3 hour run , before turning into the St Simons Sound. I did manage to make us sandwiches for lunch on board along the way although it was an interesting exercise. I should have made them before hand when going on a sea journey , but forgot.Usually not a problem when going down the ICW.We docked at the Morningstar Marina at Golden Isles.Place was a bit dead , the curtesy car fully booked for the day ,so we couldn't explore the area around St Simons Island.Several big boats near us 60 ft plus mainly Outer Reef boats were parked.Heading later for the Bahamas .The docks were great and we had a wonderful view from the cockpit out towards St Simons Sound .We watched the sun set. had a nice Lets Dish meal on board Moroccan Chicken .Watched some football on TV .Well ,Kevin and Graeme watched .I read a book .
Over and Out
Erica.
