Thanksgiving in Georgia

After navigating the trouble spots on the ICW successfully (by calculating the time of high tide), we arrived at Sapelo Island, the Duplin River, for our Thanksgiving Holiday. We chose this spot to have Thanksgiving with Jonathan & Yvonne because the cruising guide said that the U of Georgia Maritime Research Center had a Turkey fountain on the Island. On Thanksgiving morning we hiked to the fountain which was adorable, and then continued hiking to come upon The South House, a former plantation, and now a retreat. We walked to the beach. It was a beautiful day in the 70s. It was a magical day. By evening we sat down to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner; complete with turkey, stuffing, cranberry relish, twice baked potatoes, and pecan pie! It is amazing how you can put together a fabulous meal on a boat! Today, we left the Duplin River, and traveled to Brunswick, GA to do a marina stop at the Brunswick Landing Marina. We needed to get fuel, water, and of course laundry! The exciting thing about this marina is that laundry is free! No plugging quarters! After all our chores, we decided to go out eat at Fox's Pizza - great lasagna!
