FL to CT - Day 20
Brunswick, GA to Walburg Creek,GA
We left Brunswick Landing Marina later than planned at 0845. Our alarm clock "Lily" slept in. Normally, she wakes us up at 0600 to 0630... not today... we had to wake her up at 0800... it was one of those gloomy days out... YUK!

We headed back toward the ICW past the ship docks and under the Sidney Lanier Bridge... it's huge! Takes about 45 minutes to get back to ICW. At least we had the current with us out and to the inlet... pushing us along at over 8 knots... bad part was the current would end at the inlet and the wind was blowing over 30 knots out of the NE. Ready for this wind to stop!

We passed one sailboat and had three power boats pass us... other than that we did not see another boat. Guess when it's raining, wind over 30 knots most people stay docked. We wanted to get to a grocery store soon and tried all day calling marinas to get a slip... every one was full... we did mange to find one in the Savannah area... Delegal Creek Marina located at the moth of the Vernon River just past Ossabaw Sound. They provide a golf cart and Publix is just 10 minutes away... NICE!

We can't make it that far today so we decided to anchor in Walburg Creek just south of St. Catherine's Sound. we have anchored here before and it's a nice protected area from the NE winds that never let up today... saw gusts to 40 knots.... very nasty day!

We arrived and anchored for the night at approximately 1730. Our location Walburg Creek at N31°40.601', W081°09.558'. We traveled today for 8 hours and 45 minutes covering 56.03 nautical miles averaging 6.4 knots.
