2/24/16 Wednesday Isle of Hope Savannah, Ga

Well it was predicted to have severe thunder storms with possible tornados here during the night, but Thank you Lord they scooted right on past us!!! We did have some very high winds with gust up to 45-50 MPH and boy did the boat toss about!! Rod had to clean some pretty severe black marks off the side of the boat where it hit the dock so much during the night. Wind was still 15-20 mph with gusts up to 35-40 mph most of the day! But thankful we had a warm sunny day to go with all the wind. 
We decided to take off in the marinas loaner car and spend the day in Downtown Savannah. We have been there so much we feel like we have seen everything there is to see there. We just love this town so much. We chose to take the Old Savannah Tours trolley tour again, as we get to see so much of the town, and get off at several stops and walk around see attractions and then get back on again. We were told of a new Webb Military History Museum and decided to get off at that stop and check it out. We were so impressed with all the war memorabilia this guy has collected, and was told what we saw in the museum was only about 1/3 of his collection!! Just as we were completing the tour through the museum the owner came in and we were introduced to him. Gary Webb has been collecting war memorabilia and relics since he was 10 years old. We spend almost and hour just standing and talking to him. A real treat!!! 
We got back on the trolley and completed the rest of the tour around town and decided we had been tourist long enough today! Lol  We drove back to the boat and still the wind was tossing the boat around so we made the decision to stay here one more day rather than try and battle this wind on the water!! I was quiet happy about that!!! I hate traveling in rough water. And we have nothing that can't wait another day for us to be able to travel in better conditions!!! 
I made a big pot of chili for supper, and we worked on the reservation book for tours in March and April. I even have a few people booking for July 4th weekend!!! 
March is typically a slow month usually we do tours 3-4 days a week. 
Getting prepared to crank up another year of tours!!
Since we thought we would be leaving tomorrow, I have no idea what's will be on the agenda!!
I will let you know tomorrow night!!!
Love and Blessings to all,  Fran & Capn Rod 

This is the best tour in town!!

If your ever there don't forget it's the white bus!

The new Webb military museum. 

He dedicated the museum to his Mom and Dad. So hope you can read this letter!
