2/18/17 Saturday Anchored Johnson Creek Ga

Today is probably the cloudiest day of travel we have had the entire trip! We never saw the sun today although it was 72 degrees or so and 80 or better on the bridge of the boat. We untied from the dock this morning at 6:45am and off we went headed north again!! With in a couple hours we were in Georgia!!
We pushed our self today as the tides were just perfect to go through the Hugh sounds and some areas we knew are very shallow at low tide. So we pushed on in fact 122 miles today and 12 hours driving!! Rod seems to get a kick out of seeing how long he can drive!!! Ha. It was a good thing though as we had only one issue that we scrubbed the bottom for a few seconds! Rod calls it "bump and go" !, I know one thing it makes you have tight butt cheeks!! Lol we bumped the bottom so hard it turned over the lamps in our bedroom!! The rest if the day was great!! We never had another time with less than 3-4 feet under the boat!  that's a good thing! Ha
5pm I started our supper and while it cooked I took my shower, served supper as he continued to drive and finally 7pm we anchored in Johnsons Creek about 35 miles south of  Savannah. We have made reservations to dock 1 night at Isle of Hope to get fuel and water to be able to make it the next 3 days to home. It's almost 9am, our bedtime when we travel, and I'm bushed!!!  We need to wait on the tide to rise some in the morning before we pull up anchor. We have a few areas we con not get though tomorrow morning till the tide rises some. So we may not leave tomorrow until 8am or so!!
Georgia is a tough travel state so please pray for our journey tomorrow!!  Love to all, Ms. Fran & Capn Rod
Nothing like starting the day with a georgeous sunrise!!
Lots of dolphin today!!!
