2/19/17 Sunday Savannah, Ga

We slept in this morning as we really did not want to leave till 8am or so as we needed for the tide to rise some before we get to a place called Hell Gate!! An appropriate name for this area as it is only about 1/8 of a mile long but at low tide it only has 2 feet of water!!! (And its 15 miles to go around it) so worth the wait till high tide! We were up by 7am, but just enjoyed the sunrise and had coffee and waited till 8am or so to pull up anchor and head on north. A beautiful travel day!! We arrived at Hell Gate around 11:30am which is 2 hours into rising tide, and we went through with about 4-5 feet of water under the boat!! Great timing!! We arrived at Isle of Hope marina around 1pm took on 125 gals of diesel fuel and docked for the night. We thought about getting their courtesy car and go into town, but Rod was just to tired. Lexie and I took a nice long walk of which she thoughly enjoyed it was a warm beautiful afternoon! I cooked supper, We then watched a movie, then Rod repaired a short in the electrical panel for our running lights. A quick 30 min fix!! A nice relaxing evening!!
We should be home in 3 maybe 4 days !!!
Pray for our safe travels!! Love to all, Ms. Fran & Capn Rod
