We're in Jekyll Island, GA

On Tuesday, we motored 56 miles to anchor in New Teakettle Creek. We weren't going to go that far, but we wanted to go through the Little Mud River on Wednesday morning at high tide, so that dictated our stopping point on Tuesday. Transiting Little Mud was no problem. "Passages" and "Kismet" decided to anchor by Fort Frederica in the Frederica River on Wednesday after a short 20 mile trip. "Polar Pacer" has decided to move South at a more rapid rate so we bid them farewell. Frederica is a very cool spot - this was a village of about 1000 residents in the mid 1700s. Only minimal ruins are left, but great stories of this historical area. The dinghy dock to access the Park was a big problem. It is only accessible from mid to high tide. We tied Porty up about 2 hours before low tide in very shallow water. We thought that we could just walk out in the mud when we returned. NOT POSSIBLE! Two hours later when we returned it was low tide and the mud was the kind that one sinks into quickly! No walking out the dinghy to deeper water. So.....we had to wait about 2 hours before we could return to "Kismet" in Porty. To make matters more difficult, while the four of us were exploring St Simons Island, we decided to run by a sprinkler that was watering a sidewalk. Well - I immediately went SPLAT on the sidewalk - with scrapes, a very sore knee, & ripped pants, we all walked back to the dinghy about a mile away. I was so looking forward to getting back to the boat, getting ice on my wounds, and relaxing - but now we had to wait for the tide to come up. Fortunately, the Park ranger gave us some ice. What an adventure! Today, we arrived in Jekyll Island. We were so looking forward to coming here; since we haven't stopped on previous trips. Jim is off exploring the island with Mo & George and I am sitting on the boat, resting, and icing my knee, that is pretty swollen & achey!
