Our transportation didn’t compare to the Tesla we rented from Hertz earlier this year (it was a replacement for the el cheapo car we reserved but they didn’t have). It was only a golf cart but it’s free to patrons of the marina and it has enough range to explore the entire island - and it automatically obeys all speed limits! (Can’t go any faster…)

| Wide open beaches - free for public access |
We had visited St Simons earlier when we were at Brunswick and found the beach access rather limited, confined to only a few places. Jekyll Island is much different. They have a perimeter road that runs along the beach with many stopping off places with ample parking for beach access. The beaches are huge and unbroken - no intervening fences or such, very nice.

| The Driftwood Beach at Jekyll Island |
We also heard of an area at the end of the beaches where driftwood collects so we investigated with thoughts of a painting project for Ann but it wasn’t to her liking. It did look strange with lots of weathered wood. We topped off the day with lunch at our favorite restaurant on the island, Zachry’s Riverhouse. A nice day for an outing.

| Returning to the marina, the cat was once again “resting” with food and water nearby. We’ve never seen the cat do anything But sleep in all the years we’ve been coming here. |
Back on Fleetwing, it was hatch repair time. Beneteau installed the smaller hatches with handles that were glued on. After 20 years, one came off and I’m attempting to reglue it. We’ll see how it goes. It’s nice to settle into our usual boat routine.
