Woke up this morning to warm 60 degrees but cloudy weather. Just as they predicted it was 49 degrees by 3pm. And the wind was blowing!!!,
Rod went up to the dock house this morning to pay our rent here as they were closed on Monday when we arrived. She offered us a free loaner car they offer here!!! Normally they loan it our in 2-3 hour time slots but since we are the only transient boaters here she said we could have it for the day. We just needed to have it back by 5pm. So we took off about 11:30 am and headed for downtown Savannah. Parking in Savannah is much easier on a bike than in a car!!! Ha We ended up in the parking garage, which is expensive at $2.00 per hour or any part of!!! Wow!! And these people that work here it's $20.00 per day!!! That could sure eat up a payday!!! We walked around some, wind was cold. We decided on a quick burger. And then off to the Tervis outlet, as we just thought we had to have another glass!!! Ha And of course we found 2 we could not resist!!
We decide to go check out Fort Jackson as we had not been able to go that far on the bike the last 4 times we have been here!!! It was soooo worth the trip! We got a tour of the fort by a man dressed in the costume of that period called a Butternut!! and gave a lot of history in the use of the fort during the revolutionary war. At that time it was called Mud Fort. An earthen fort at that time. After the war of 1812 it was improved and again in 1840, used extensively to drive back Union ships repeadly to save Savannah during the Civil War, is the structure we saw today. He also fired one of the cannon!s!!!! What a treat!! It was a great 2 hours!!!
We headed back around 3 pm to the marina, and just in time as it started raining and has rained since!!! Lexie made a quick walk when we returned and came in and cuddled by the heater!!! Pic attached!
Vegatable Beef soup and saltines for dinner!! Texting with the kids and watching videos of them all playing in the snow!!! I really still prefer shorts and tshirts and plenty of sunshine!!! Hehe
I sure hope the weather holds out so we can go to Wormsloe Plantation tomorrow, it's on our list to see before we leave here. We met a guy here on a boat today that was born and raised in Loris, SC just north of MB. He and Rod new a lot of the same people!! Go figure!!! I wasn't surprised!!!
Hope all are staying warm and blessed to have a good heater!!! We are nice and toasty aboard our boat!!
We love you all, Fran and Capn Rod
Preparing to fire the cannon!!!!
