Sunday 15th November Jekyll Island, GA mile 685 (34 miles)

Got up early again in order to make it through both Little Mud River and Jekyll Creek at relatively high tides. After crossing St Simon’s Sound in ideal conditions we gingerly traveled up Jekyll Creek and anchored south of the marina, on the edge of the channel, off Jekyll Island.

We dinghied ashore and rented bicycles to ride around (Sally) the Jekyll Island. It was a great mode of transportation as we rode up to Jekyll Island Club House. There we discovered the millionaires “cottages” built for many famous wealthy families such as the Vanderbilt’s, Cranes. The setting is gorgeous with beautiful old trees mixed in with tropical plants and palms. Lunch was had at Oyster bar, yummy fresh shellfish.


We toddled on back to Q and sometime that afternoon we got pulled up by “Law Enforcement” had to re-anchor the boat out of the channel. The Island was definitely worth the stop. Thanks Tim for the recommendation!
