St Marys, GA

Brunswick Landing Marina. After two days of travel we are in Brunswick, GA (a little over 100 miles down the ICW from Savannah). We stopped here for a couple of days to visit our friends Rick and Julie Rochelle. We find out on arrival that old friends Ralph and Bonnie Jean Small are also at the marina. We hook up with Ralph and Bonnie Jean for a quick trip out to eat dinner and to catch up on each others travels. The next afternoon Julie Rochelle picks us up and takes us on a fantastic tour of St Simons Island, then to her house where we find Rick getting out adult beverages for everyone. We had a great home cooked meal in a beautiful setting with several of their friends. Ahhh, life is good!!









This is a Coast Guard tug that we saw coming back into Kings Bay Submarine base. We had been hearing a lot of chatter about a "war ship" on the VHF and suspect they had been escorting a sub out of the inlet back to sea.








We had a beautiful sunset in the St Marys anchorage on our first night back in St Marys, GA. We will be staying here for Thanksgiving again this year. Last year we met our friends Rick and Julie Rochelle here at the cruisers' Thanksgiving dinner, as well as several other people that have become good friends.

  1. Such beautiful scenes! You should make them into post cards to sell to the Marinas! It wouldn't be that hard to do! Just sayin'!
    I am so looking forward to your return. I need a dock party with my party pal Paula!
