Underway IOH to New River anchorage 7/17/2012


Because of the afternoon thunderstorm warnings for the next week we decided to get underway early and anchor early. We planned our travel days to be about 30 miles (3.5 to 4 hours travel time).   Paula and I decided to take a side trip from IOH to downtown Savannah since we had never seen it from the water. Then we would head on to our planned anchorage. Below are several pictures of downtown. Paula did not take a picture of the cop who ran me down because I was going too fast. (I was just too involved in being a water tourist!) 
We will really miss all of our friends in Savannah, but hope to stop in for a day or so as we head back south in October/November.

We dropped the anchor for the night in New River, west of Dufuskie Island. We jumped in for a quick swim and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon.

Hmmmm, look who's following us!  And look at the fool in the little boat that crossed in front of him!!
