Day 355: Long Day (but worth it)

Jekyll Island, GA to North Newport River, GA (anchored)

January 5, 2023

Fog. Again. At least this time it only lasted until 8:30 or so. Although we usually eat breakfast when we’re on the way, today we ate at anchor which allowed time for the fog to lift.

An hour later

Skies were clear until we got to St. Simon Sound – we had patches of fog with sunny spots in between them. The water was like glass, too.

I stood on the bow to keep an eye out for crab pots and channel markers since John was using our Garmin and we could see through the fog patches.

Traveling through some fog

This fog was surreally beautiful.

We traveled a good 54 miles yesterday, even though the fog slowed us down a few times.

At our anchorage

We anchored in a wide open space just off the ICW. There are few trees here so we have an incredible view of the sky. We anchored just as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.

Anchorage

We’ll have to go through Hell Gate tomorrow, so we have to make sure we catch a higher tide. We’re planning to anchor in South Carolina tomorrow.

  1. CHRIS,

    I have been out of the loop with Lailia communication lately and did NOT know you were coming back to work until Friday!!! Nothing could make me happier – don’t know how you are doing it though after you have seen how fabulous life is out there but I will be so happy to see you. I think Shannon said you start on the 11th and you will be at CEWN so you will be close. We will definitely be able to see each other (however, we have double the caseload now so our team really never sees each other much 😦 but we will make it happen!

    Can’t wait to see you,

    Barbara
