We got into Brunswick on Thursday just before noon. We needed to get rid of garbage and buy groceries. Our friends Benny and Lisa, Rhiannon, were at the same Marinia waiting for their rudder and keel to get repaired. We were anxious to talk to them and find out more out their run in with the jetty at Jeckle Creek. After talking with them , it wasn't real clear on what happened..,, some how they ran on top of the jetty even though it was marked. Benny said is was like a bad dream and all of a sudden you wake up and he was on the jetty and couldn't steer. They had a rental car and were nice enough to take us to St Simon's Island and to get groceries. We ended up eating at a hole in the wall kind of place that served local seafood in Darion.
They boasted that they had the best shrimp in Georgia. They had a trophy to prove it and after sampling their shrimp basket I can tell you it was outstanding. We spent the next couple of days cleaning and reading as a cold front was tearing up the east coast. We felt lucky to have rainy weather in the high 60s, low 70s. While everyone up north was getting 2 feet of snow. Sunday night as we watched the sunset "our" crane landed on the end of our dock. We know he is saying its time to leave. Next stop Florida
