Jekyll Island to Turner Creek (Savannah)

The last couple of days we have been putting the miles behind us and enjoying the scenery.  We have been anchoring out along the way since last Friday and enjoying the cool breezes.  The weather is predicted to heat up beginning on Thursday. We saw Jekyll Island which at one time was a private island for the Goodyears and their friends.  There is a large hotel there now and several large homes.  The marina below however has fallen into disrepair and at low tide most of it sits in the mud. We did learn that Henry Ford in the beginning stuffed his car seats with Spanish moss but soon after everyone began complaining about an itchy bottom. They then found out that the moss contained chiggers.  Therefore the chigger caused the first automotive recall.  Last night we anchored in the Wahoo River just off of the intercoastal. We are anchored out tonight in Turner Creek ;we know that Savannah is very close by but with no vehicle we will save that town for a motorcycle ride next year.  We have been through Savannah in the past and it is a beautiful city. Tomorrow we will be leaving Georgia behind and entering South Carolina.
