Finally to Brunswick

21 July 2017

We let loose from the mooring in the morning and headed north again. We crossed over into Georgia and were behind Jekyll Island with a very low tide when Heather handed over the wheel to me for a break. You know something had to happen. Just past the bridge we went aground, and stayed aground, yet still slowly moving. We plowed through the thick mud for about a quarter mile, following behind a shrimper that was also heading up, figuring they knew the best way. Note to self, on the way back down we need to pass behind Jekyll Island at high tide.

We made it to the river, then headed upstream to the bridge. Just past the bridge we took a right up a little inlet, and a few minutes later we were looking at the Brunswick marina. Once we identified the fuel dock we came alongside and tied up. We topped up with fuel and pumped out, then headed up to Dock 7, which was to be our home for a while. Between the substantial tide and a little bit of wind we struggled to get into the slip, but we did eventually with no harm done.

We're finally in Brunswick! We had dinner at a cute little bar within walking distance called Tipsey McSways, located in the downtown area. Once back on the boat we were quickly down for the count.
