Jekyll Harbor Marina - We eat at a great restaurant

 

"Red sky at morning, sailors take warning"

I had to take Hoolie out early this morning to beat the coming storms. Stepping on the dock, the western sky was a bright red which brought to mind the old saying, "Red sky at morning, sailor take warning". I got Hoolie to do his thing and we were shut in by the rain until late afternoon. We even saw a sunrise rainbow! 

It's the first time I saw a rainbow lit by the rising sun - not even above the horizon yet

We all had our projects down below but we planned on having dinner at Zachry's River House right next to the marina. It was superb. If you're ever in Jekyll, you've got to eat there. We arrived at 5:00 and got a table right away since we wanted to eat inside. There was a 20 minute wait if you wanted an outside table. 

Meanwhile, Sarah got driving experience on a cart (yesterday)

The prices are very reasonable, $10.50 for a Mahi-Mahi sandwich with french fries. Ann had the fried oyster sandwich. There's a technique for doing fried food and if you get it right, it's very good - and they get it right all the time. 

Snug setting for the marina office

On the way out around 6:00, we saw a line of people waiting for a table, inside or outside. It's a very popular restaurant on the island. We're headed for Fernandina on Friday and a dinner at Pepper's, a Mexican restaurant that is also one of our favorites. It's not far so it should be a nice trip. 

The restaurant is in a beautiful setting too
