Day 21 - Nov 16, 2013
I should not have used the word "progress" in yesterdays blog entry. We awoke this AM to the dreaded “F” word. FOG. I couldn’t see the other boats near us, I couldn’t even see the banks and marsh grass of the river banks.

No one was going anywhere until this stuff burned off. When The fog finally did lift enough to see where you were going, we had already missed our tide window to pass through Little Mud River. We made the day of it puttzing on the boat. We’ll try it again tomorrow.

Day 22 - Nov 17, 2013
 We awoke to the same Foggy conditions this am. Today however, the fog lifted about 0900 hours and we got underway about 0910. Tide at the trouble spot was still high and just beginning to fall. We made it through with the usual near heart stopping moments.

On through Buttermilk Sound and the Mackay River we went.

As we approached Lanier Island, I decided we could make it to Jekyll Island and pushed on. As we neared St Simons Sound I could see a large rather dense Fog bank rolling inward from the ocean. A change of plan was in order. We had already passed all the suitable anchorages except the one at Lanier Island. The choice was the anchorage or take a slip at Morning Star Marina (old Golden Isle Marina). We needed to do laundry and I really needed a good nights sleep, so we opted to get a slip.
