Anchoring in Duplin River off Supelo Island, Ga.

We left Kilkenny Creek Marina at 8 a.m. Winds were 3.5 knots, temperature was 67 degrees and very sunny. We went through Bear River and St. Catherine's Sound into the North Newport River and Johnson Creek. At R130, the current was in our favor. SOB was 8 mph. Winders were 6.9 knots. We saw dolphins.


We went through Sapelo Sound and the wind decreased to less than a half knot and the current was against us. SOG was a3.9 knots. As we were entering the mouth of the Front River, a large fuel cargo ship passed close to us (see photo). It was really narrow through Creighton Narrows. We traveled through Old Teakettle Creek to Duplin River.


We are anchored right past Marsh Landing Ferry, two small ferries for those who live on Sapelo Island (see photo at right).

I'm making salad, veal parmigiana and pasta tonight using the generator and toaster/convection oven and chocolate pudding and ff cool whip for dessert.

Tomorrow: Jekyll Island, Ga.
