Friday - December 30

    Beautiful sunny day but chilly when we woke up (41).    As promised, our Krispy Kreme donuts were waiting on the boat compliments of the marina - 6 yummy, warm treats which they do daily for all boaters!    What a nice gesture and much appreciated!  😋

 

 

We said our good byes to Ryan and Brooke as we left the dock at 7:55.    They are heading northbound and we're going southbound on the Intracoastal.    So glad we could connect here in Thunderbolt and catch up!    Great fun!!!

 

Bye bye to these kiddos and wishing them a safe journey.  

 💘💘

 

Tonight they are in Beaufort and Charleston is their destination tomorrow where they will ring in the New Year.    Brooke will go back to Pensacola on January 2nd and Ryan will have 2 friends join him for next leg of the trip.

 

The Captain and I arrived on St.  Simon's Island at 2:30  (96 miles) - it is only in the low 50's and breezy with clear blue skies.    But we were warm and cozy with the generator running all day.   Catrina was heavily coated with salt so a good rinsing was in order.  

 

We are at Morningstar Marina and muffins coming up in the morning!    Yeah....these Georgia folks know the way to our hearts and tummies!  😀

 

I did a load of laundry in this really nice marina with many beautiful big yachts, some shops, a restaurant, hair salon, etc.

Sooo very sorry to hear Maeve and Annette have colds - I am probably the culprit
 who passed mine on.....

This was a good night to stay in.....fixed spaghetti, poured some red wine and hunkered down!
Love seeing the decorated lights on boats.....people are scurrying about with heavy coats, hats, etc.
 

Hard to believe tomorrow is New Year's Eve.....my how 2016 flew by!
