Saint Simons Island

Brought the boat into the dock at the Morning Star Marina on St Simons Island this morning. 

There is a big cold front coming through with lots of rain and big wind. Don't need to be out in the open harbor for that one. 

I have been invited to go on a tour of the island given by Chuck and Deb, with Roger the owner of the big catamaran we sailed on yesterday. 

We drove around the island and because Chuck and Deb are looking for a new house, we got to go to all the places you might not take someone on a small tour. 

There is needless to say a lot of money here(at least 5-6 golf courses). If you were looking for a place to retire to this would definitely be one of them. 

We went to a historic site where Fort Frederica and an entire community was established and it's all gone now except for some foundations that were found in the 1940's. Between this place and Wormsloe I'm getting a good history of the Sea Islands. 

It's about 9:00pm and I for one am very glad to my boat at a dock right now. It's starting to blow and even at the dock were starting to bounce around.
