Jekyll Island, GA - Another great day!

Greetings from Jekyll Island!  We spent a full day here and really continue to enjoy the area. 

But before I go on , I need to report that my day started off on a great note - I had a lovely conversation with a dear old friend - Michael Burke - who was afraid we had forgotten our old friends while meeting all of our new ones.  Well Mike - and everyone else - fear not - as wonderful as this journey has been, is and continues to be - and we have indeed met some wonderful people - we think of and miss our dear old friends and family each and every day!  Especially you Mike . . .   :-)

OK - back to our day.  There is another couple at this marina who own a 46' Navigator - we visited their boat and they visited ours and we enjoyed seeing the differences and similarities between our boats.  This is the first Navigator we have come across on this journey.   Navigators are made on the west coast, so you don't see many on the east coast. 

We then ventured back to the historic district via the bikes and enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch on the water (the GA shrimp are so amazing) and then went to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center and the Jeykyll Island Club.  
The work at the Sea Turtle Center is amazing - this turtle named Griffin suffered a stroke.  There were probably over 30 sea turtles who were in the "hospital" - Griffin was definitely the largest.
Amy and Paul on the bikes heading back to the marina - SUCH FUN!
The lovely marina where we're staying - Master Plan is in the middle of the photo along the Face Dock.

Amy and Paul waving from the dock - the lighting this afternoon was really cool.
Tonight we're enjoying a nice dinner on board - and tomorrow we'll depart early for Jacksonville.  Since this area tends to have lower water levels, we need to make sure we leave near high tide - which is at 6am tomorrow - so we'll plan to leave by 8am.

Until our next posting - thanks for following along!    Love, Jen & Paul
