CT to FL Day 34
Skidaway Island, GA to Jekyll Island, GA
Bitter cold this morning... Cold front passing over the east coast dropped temps to in the teens overnight and with the wind single digit wind chill... 19° when we dropped dock lines and departed... 0730 underway.

Winds were strong all day 20 to 25 knots out of the WNW... making open sounds a bit lumpy but for the most part we were in protected water and no waves.... just windy... believe the highest temp we saw today was 27°.... Brrrrrrrrrr!

Saw only one boat today... it was ship that was disable in Brunswick... 650 ft Car Carrier "Treasure" was beam across the channel.... plenty of room to get around him... We heard him hail the Coast Guard announcing he had lost propulsion and was anchoring in the channel... when we passed two large tugboats, and two pilot boats were on scene... pretty cool!

We arrived at our destination for night at Jekyll Harbor Marina at approximately 1815 and were secure on the dock with power at 1830... Our location for the night N31°02.818', W081°25.357’. We traveled today for 11 hours covering 73 nautical miles averaging 6.6 knots.
