Why we cruise and special tributes!






Good bye Georgia flies and sandgnats, hello Florida sunshine!!!


We left Georgia, Sat. Feb. 23, 2008 at 10:45am. Cruising was great and a wonderful reprieve from those pesty flies and sandgnats. We anchored out on our favorite creek, Old Teakettle Creek. Dropped the hook at 5:45pm and had a lovely evening playing cards and enjoying being away from a dock.


Feb. 24


We were so anxious to keep on cruising, that we both got up early and pulled out of our anchorage spot and headed south around 7:30am. We went on the outside from Doboy Sound to St. Mary's River in Fernandina Beach, FL. The cruise was wonderful and the sunshine felt great. I even put on my bathing suit and got alittle sun!


The pictures include one taken in the Atlantic Ocean with nothing surrounding us. That's why we cruise. No road rage here! The others are a tribute to my parents for always showing an interest in our travels and want to keep up with where we are and our good friends, Phil and Margaret on their boat "Sunshine", who took off before us and introduced me to blogging!!! And yes I did include a picture of Clay and me eating our Thanksgiving Dinner at Lady and Son's restaurant in Savannah, GA. For those of you who keep up with cooking networks, this is Paula Dean's restaurant. The food is GREAT!!!


We have now dropped the hook at Fernandina Beach and are settling in for the afternoon and evening.

Rita-Kay and Clay,

Congrats on a great blog! We are waiting for you in Biscayne Bay! Just got here yesterday. It's paradise! We will be learning to sail while we're here, then maybe we can cross to the Bahamas with you. Fair winds, Phil and Margaret
