Jekyll Creek Marina - at a dock

 

Zachry’s Riverhouse, a classic southern setting with moss filled trees

Storms have been rolling through for the last two days. We had a doozy last night with 30 plus kt winds and lots of rain. The dinghy nearly filled up with the rain. I took Hoolie out with rain still coming down, we both got soaked. 

A view of the docks at Jekyll Marina.We are down aways on the outside.

We had dinner at Zachry’s Riverhouse tonight, a nice restaurant less than 500 ft from the marina. The prices are less than what I’ve come to expect in Key West with a Mahi-Mahi sandwich with fries for $11.00. The place was packed, as usual, but there were still a couple of tables left at 6:15 pm. 

My greeting committee when someone wants to go out

We will be moving to Brunswick Landing Marina Saturday morning before the next set of storms move in. We have a haul out date of Friday now, the same day our car arrives from Deltaville. The local car rental places (Enterprise, etc.) will not rent a car one-way to Gloucester, Virginia (where an Enterprise dealer is located) so we’ve fallen back on our backup plan of using a driver we know to bring the car down. Once here, he’ll catch a plane back north. It’s not a cheap solution but it gets our car to the marina. 

Once again, we are sitting at the dock with rain coming down but at least we’re in for the night.
