Kilkenny Marina - at a dock

 

I'm always fascinated by the old live oaks here, grand trees

We had intended anchoring out at Crescent River but the weather was so nice and the winds so mild that we decided to push on to Kilkenny, our second day destination. We left early for us at 7:30 am and got a good start through Jekyll Island. I'll post the depths we found later on after some analysis but it was shallow at MLLW as was Little Mud River, details to follow.

Plenty of room at Kilkenny

It seemed that no matter where we went, the tide was almost always against us so we did not make good time. The current stations predicting the flow rate were woefully inaccurate, mostly not in our favor. Where 0.5 kts of current against us was predicted, we were seeing 1.5 to 2.0 kts of foul current!

Kilkenny Marina is just a face dock. Any resemblance to a marina is by name only. However, we like the face dock with newly upgraded electrical outlets and buss supply so we're running A/C with no problems, unlike in the past at times. 

What is missing where we were at, farther down the line on the docks, is WiFi. The marina has one WiFi router in the window of the office. If there's a boat between you and the router, you don't get WiFi - which is the case with use tonight. Ann can still get out on the phone, just no WiFi from the marina. I'm using the iPhone hotspot with one bar and if you wait only enough, it seems to get out. 

We're headed to Thunderbolt in Savannah on Monday if they have a slip, we're on a waiting list for that. Otherwise, we'll find something in Savannah for the night. Then it's on to Windmill Harbour for two nights.
