Day 8: A Week In

Savannah Marina, Wilmington Island, GA

The sun was a bit misleading since temps didn’t get out of the 40s all day. It was so cold this morning that I was *forced* to bake some scones for brunch. This marina is fairly protected from the wind but there was a small craft advisory until 4pm – we learned our lesson earlier in the week about being out in that junk

Today was a good day to Uber to the hardware store to grab more propane. I can’t articulate how much fun it is to push a shopping cart with an empty metal canister around the the back of the building on a bumpy driveway. The kid who filled the propane tank seemed to struggle with the idea of me not driving. Since we were out we also picked up more gas for our generator; this marina does not have a fuel dock.

Something that I miss more than I thought is walking so even though it’s chilly, John and I took a short stroll.

Walking while we can

We’re planning to leave before sunrise to make use of the slack tide The cold will continue here (forecast is 30° overnight) but the wind shouldn’t be a problem.

Here’s hoping for a great day of travel tomorrow.
