St. Simon and Beyond

Another beautiful sunrise in Bull Creek, GA

After leaving Thunderbolt we anchored in Bull Creek for the first major rain of the trip.  It poured on and off for two hours.  The front came through with no problems and cooled us down which was great and made for a beautiful sunrise the next day.
We pulled into Golden Isles Morning Star Marina in mid afternoon which was an easy in along their t-head dock. Al’s high school buddy, Tony and wife Shirley who live on the island were the reason for the stop here. Tony came over to see the boat and then we went to their beautiful oceanfront property for some catching up since two years ago. 

Golden Isles Marina, St. Simon Island


Al and Tony played golf the next day while I borrowed the Guthrie’s car to run some errands and do some shopping. Later they took us to their country club on the other side of the island which was just exquisite, the furnishings and the food!

The Golden Isles Marina must figure they have to keep up with Thunderbolt, because they too delivered a newspaper and fresh muffins instead of Krispy Kremes to your boat every morning.  It seemed the resident pelican posed so that you would take his picture.



Jekyll Island Dock



We left the marina around 10am because we were in no rush to try to go through Jekyll Creek on a dropping tide. We got through fine so our plan worked! We anchored off the southern end of Cumberland and ran into Dawn Treader whom we know from the upper bay. They came over for dinner and once again we spent another evening updating each other about our trips and sharing information learned.
