The next night we were anchored again off of Dog Hammock, but this time on the other side of the channel a little more out of the way.
In the morning we passed by St Simons Island - almost there! The big, white ship on the right is a casino ship that goes out to sea.
New to the St. Simons scenery is the container ship wreck that happened a few weeks before. The red is bottom paint that should be in the water. Apparently it had 4000 Hyundais in it. The boat must have been highly automated because I think only four guys were running the whole show. Supposedly some system started moving water around, unbalancing the boat, but maybe that was difficult to immediately perceive in the weather they were in at the time. Before they were able to identify and correct the problem the boat rolled in a wave and just kept going. I had heard soon after it happened that they had rescued three of the guys. In the Uber over to SSI the next day the driver said they also got the fourth guy out.
Well, after SSI, we turn right up the river, under the bridge, and right again into the Brunswick channel towards town. We made it!
