The Day

St. Simon’s visit

Last evening, there was a little bit of excitement at the dock as the coast guard brought a boat in that was taking on water. Summer Wind had hit some rocks near Jekyll Island and sustained damage to their hull. They had just bought the boat two days prior and were bringing it to Savannah.

Waiting for Squalls

Squalls were predicted for the day. We had wanted to dinghy to Little Harbor. There is an art gallery there. We were afraid to leave the boat with the weather, however. The winds were fairly light and it was cloudy. We did some boat projects and life projects. Our exhaust pipe was leaking slightly again
