4/17 Amelia Island, FL to Brunswick, GA

We left on a low tide (6 foot tides here).  This marina has a history of shallow entry and slips.  Last time we were here in 2015, our boat sat in the silt during low tide.  There was no problem this time because they have dredged!
The winds were calm and the water was flat; even the sound was tame!

As we headed under the bridge to Brunswick, a strange looking ship was headed out.

Just as we were docking, we got a call from our friend Katrinka, who, with a friend, was driving our truck to Michigan. They were heading home and were going to leave our truck there so we would have it in August.  They had an accident in Alabama due to a tire which blew out. The truck hit a guard rail and went into a ditch.  They were uninjured but the truck was totalled.

So, for the second time on this trip, Ron rented a car.  He is driving to pick them up and drive them to Michigan.  Duke and I are in one of our favorite marinas, Brunswick Landing.  (Free laundry facilities, nice Yacht club)
