Jekyll Island - At a dock, getting groceries

The morning walk with Hoolie

 Today we had one of the few bad experiences in getting groceries delivered by Instacart from Publix. The delivery was fast enough with ordering in the morning and delivery but 1:00 pm, no problem there. However, we had many missing items, a first for us with the company. Instacart asked for my view of the service and after stating several items were missing, they provided a form for deleting the charges for the missing items. 

Zachry’s River House restaurant is a great place for a good meal

Although we were not charged for the missing groceries, we were still left with less than we ordered for the next leg of our journey. As predicted, the winds picked up with gusts of up to 30 kts, not a good day for rounding R42 out in St Andrews Sound. We were glad that we decided to soldier on to Jekyll yesterday and avoided the high winds of today out of the northeast. 

The marina has the use of the swimming pool too, it’s quite a resort type marina

We are scheduled to get rain over the next two days so we’re staying put and hope to depart on Monday but that’s not certain due to continued prediction of more rain and thunderstorms, we’ll see. If we miss our Monday departure, we’ll cut our stay at Windmill from two days to one day before going on to Beaufort, SC to meet friends there. 

It’s been nice to relax today and we plan on more of the same on Saturday! We are due for a warming trend later in the week.
