Thunderbolt in Savannah - at a dock

 

Typical boats in for refitting - and these are not the biggest one there

We wanted a short run today and needed to refuel, pump out, and provision. Thunderbolt is very convenient for refueling with its easy to dock at facedock. It's also the home to some very large boats for renovation, larger than anywhere else on the ICW. 

The WiFi did not reach the end of the dock where we were, so we moved
to the picnic area under the WiFi antenna, can't miss our biweekly Zoom with family

Instacart is alive and well and I signed up for a one month membership for the trip north for $9.95. The one thing it has going for it is convenience. Just use their app and order the groceries you want and one of their shoppers will pick it out and deliver it right to the marina. We ordered around noon and had our groceries by 2:00. 

A view of the docks here, all cement, sturdy

Thunderbolt has a courtesy car for use by transients but we had laundry to do and we ran out of time so we used the Instacart service instead. The laundry room has two washers and two dryers that did the job as expected, one of the reasons we stop here. Tuesday morning we expect the usual delivery of Krispy Kreme donuts! During the check in, you're asked if you want donuts in the morning. The donuts are delicious but they are calorie intensive! 

We will head for Windmill Harbour on Tuesday and perhaps stray an extra day, we need to relook at the weather report before deciding for sure.
