At Kilkenny Creek Marina in Richmond Hill, Ga.


We left Hogan's Marina at 8:30 a.m. Bubba was very hospitable. It was a bright a sunny day, high 60s and we were in long sleeved T-shirts.

At 9:35 a.m., R50, we saw a sunken sailboat! I took a photo of the protruding mast. How sad.

We passed through Isle of Hope and Long Island. We went through Skidaway Narrow Bridge at MM592.8, which opened on demand at 9:48 a.m. SOG was 9 mph. Temperature rose to high 70s and I changed to capris and a T-shirt.

We went up Moon River, Burnside River and Vernon River, then through Ogeechee River and through the Florida passage to Kilkenny Creek. No wind today, so no sails. We arrived here at 1:10 p.m.

Patti and I took the dogs for a walk and saw some beautiful trees
overhanging the street with Spanish moss hanging. It was beautiful.

I took the photo of our boats from the top of the ramp. Unfortunately, there's a power boat blocking Sheet Music. There's a 6 ft. tidal change from low to high tides. It was low tide when we arrived and we walked up a steep ramp. It was level when we left this morning at high tide!

They lift the boats up to ground level at low tide b/c of the difference in the road vs. the water. Very cool to see. Of course, I didn't have my camera handy when I saw it!

Lanudry was only 75 cents to wash and 50 cents to dry, so of course we did laundry!
Tomorrow we'll anchor out and may not have signal so don't worry if there's no update.
