A much warmer and pleasant day on our way to Savannah and The Isle of Hope Marina.

We arrived at low tide (first pic) where you can’t see the top of the docking pilings.  Later that afternoon we took a comparison to reflect the eight foot tide exchange.

We borrowed the marina’s clunker (courtesy van with no A/C) to tour the  historical Savannah riverfront and cotton exchange.  There we found a quaint little bar called “Tubby’s” where we celebrated our wedding anniversary and dined on fried green tomatoes.  Ron spared no expense on flowers for Karen’s anniversary!

While sitting on the balcony overlooking the river, we were shocked at the size of a cargo ship in the channel.  And then a riverboat came by in the opposite direction!  Savannah is a true working port.

The homes around Savannah were much of what one would expect – beautiful – big – and old…….the Spanish moss and picket fences framed them well.

Later that evening we enjoyed a walk around the marina and docktails on the cockpit.

It seems the focus on sea-life has changed here – from manatees to North Atlantic Right Wales……

……tomorrow we are on to Beaufort, South Carolina……
