Georgia

The portion of Georgia that we see along the Intercoastal Waterway is winding rivers through marshland and sounds (inlets).....not too much else.
On March 27th we passed our first manatee habitat warning sign as we coasted into Georgia.
While motoring along a small winding stream on our approach to Savannah we were surprised to come "face to face" with a Cosco container ship.
As our view is mostly across low marshland the large ship appeared to be approaching on the stream but it was actually on the nearby Savannah River. 

Unfortunately on the afternoon of March 29th we found ourselves aground....stuck in the mud! at M684 ICW, just north of the bridge at Jekyl Island.  Even more unfortunate, we had 5 feet of tidal water UNDER us and it was FALLING!
Barry did a stellar job of getting us free (sadly he's had plenty of practice).  He put the head sail up to try and list us over to move forward.  He was just in the process of hoisting the mainsail when 2 power boats happened by.  Barry asked them if they'd put up a large wake which they did and it was enough to bounce us out.  Yeah! Thanks guys, free again.
Georgia is currently experiencing record high temperatures.  The highs are in the low 90s F (30s C)....very comfortable boating weather.
