Jekyll Island - We take a ride on a golf cart and provision

 

The beach was first-rate - with driftwood here and there

We found a small grocery story on the island and decided to visit to restock on fresh vegetables and citrus along with milk and eggs. The marina here has two golf carts that they load to transients. You have to sign them out by giving your state's license number, insurance company, but after that, you're on your own. The golf carts are allowed to drive on the island roads. The maximum speed limit is only 35 mph and often less so it's no big deal. 

Here comes the front!

Our first stop was to the local grocery store and we bought oranges (no grapefruit), milk, eggs, salad makings, orange juice, and a few other items, very convenient. I stored everything in back and headed off to explore the island. There's a perimeter road that follows the water so we just followed that for a tour of the island. 

The island is more developed than it first appears. The beaches are first rate with plenty of kiosks for changing and restrooms. I watched the battery gauge as we tooled around and only used up about 1/4 of the chargte with our island circle. 

The reason we stayed for two days instead of one was due to the weather forecast of severe thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and overnight. This time, the weatherman didn't disappoint and we got what was predicted, lots of wind and rain. I was glad to be at a dock for all of that. On Sunday, we are headed north again through Little Mud River and plan on anchoring at Crescent River for the night.
