Safe and sound in St Simon’s Georgia. We left Saint Augustine at 7 o’clock-before the sun was up. What is the point of daylight savings time?
We are in the ocean from Saint Johns to Saint Simon. Sunny skies in flat seas until we got to the Saint Simon inlet. They got a little sloppy, but we are safe and sound. I’ll report more this evening.
We enjoyed Florida, but it’s good to leave it behind. We are almost halfway home!
Here’s a sight you don’t see everyday:

This is a massive salvage operation underway at the head of the St. Simon’s Inlet. It’s the wreck of the Golden Ray, a 656-foot car carrier that capsized in the channel while carrying 4,200 brand-new vehicles. YIKES! At least we never capsized!
It’s difficult to get a sense of the scale of this contraption, but the white boat in the foreground is larger than my boat. The huge gantry looks like the one in the Jodie Foster movie Contact.
It’s nice to be out of Florida…Georgia looks different: we’re in the Low Country now!

I’m a little sad your trip is almost over. These blog posts have been like messages from another world. Also, have loved all the stories about Guinness. He’s a very good dog.
