2/21/16 Sunday Jekyll Island, Ga

We woke this morning to absolutely spring time weather!!! 
We planned our day to mainly include being back and settled on the boat by 1pm to watch the Daytona nascar race!!! First race of the season!!
We took off on the bike and found a Dairy Queen just down the street and I enjoyed biscuits and gravy and Rod had eggs and hash browns with ham!! It was difinitely a fast food breakfast, but I guess it does beat cooking!, ha We rode down the south bike path that covers the entire length of the south island about 12 miles round trip. We stopped at the Wanderers Park and walked through the area and read all about the history of the slaves brought here from Africa by the ship The Wanderer. Some great history!! 
We then rode back and into the historic district again as there was a trolley tour Rod wanted to take but, when we got there around 11am the next tour was not until 1pm and lasted a little over and hour!! WELL, that would have had us missing the first part of the race so we decided it would just have to wait until our next stay here! Lol   
We just rode through the area and stopped in some of the shops and then was back at the boat by around 12:30 or so!!! THE RACE IS ON!!! The best Daytona race ever!!! It came down to 4 inches of a win to Denny Hamlin !!! Kept Rod on the edge of his seat!!!
I had made homemade spaghetti sauce and simmered most of the afternoon so spaghetti was the meal for supper!!!
Rested up, boat is ready to leave here tomorrow morning early!! High tide early in the morning gives us a good chance of getting through some areas with out any issues!!!! We will need 1 1/2 days to arrive at Isle of Hope in Savannah for our scheduled next stop. 
We have had another good stay here at Jekyll Island!!
Please pray for journey tomorrow!! Love and blessings to all!!!  Fran & Capn Rod 
Sorry no pics today!!!  :(
