Today was another outdoor day. We went back to St Simon Island and took the Saint Simons Colonial Island Trolley Tour with Captain Rod at the wheel. We traveled through the island, getting the local info on places to eat, visit, and all the local history. Haskel from Skye joined Tom and I on our adventure finishing with a superb meal at Del Sur.

Also discovered Candied Bacon Ice Cream .. at Moo Cow Ice cream store on St. Simons. This was a delicious treat after our walk on the beach

He does not own a boat or he would not be attracting and feeding
these birds

thing to eat, funny but sad to watch

Brunswick, Ga and St Simon Island --- Fun

12/01
Wow time does fly when you are having fun. The weather has been fantastic, cool evenings to keep the pesky bug count down warm 70's in the afternoon to go out exploring, shopping, scrub the bird poo off deck, knit, in general chill.
A word about our marina .. Brunswick Landing Marina... this is a Gem. The staff is knowledgeable about the area and all things boat. There is a club house with free cold beer all the time, free laundry facility, wine tasting every Monday,Wednesday and Friday... and they put on a great Thanksgiving feast, with pass around food and stories. I sincerely want to stay for Christmas and if this gorgeous weather holds out we just might not move south until January.

Then there is Brunswick. The restaurants, markets, shops are a treat. There is the Copper Pig, a farmers market, butcher shop barbecue business... and there are a lot of barbecue places around here... the catch is they advertise a live Alligator... just had to stop. The inside market was beyond expectations, the aroma of cooking foods, Collard greens fabulous... I never did go look at the Alligator.. have to go back for dinner. Another stop I want to make is Willie's Wee Nee Wagon... famous for its pork chop sandwich.
Now photos of Astronomical high Tides, and beach walk at St Simons ... The time spent here is relaxing and fun.

Who knew that Lemon trees have thorns

We had three days of super high tides. When
we came in ( at normal high tide) we had
11' of water under our keel at the slip. At Super
high tide we had 20'

of course this leads to a super low tide and a hike up hill

beautiful day for a walk on the beach. Tom even collected
shells for me

and I am finishing projects in time to mail
