The weather finally improved on Wednesday Jan 27th. But, did we really want to go down the ICW. Jekyll Creek and the Cumberland River are well know for shallow water.....much less that 6 feet . I studied the charts...
I HATE the Intercostal Waterway, or as they say... the ditch!!!! But, the weather was good and we could jump out and sail down the coast. So we left Brunswick in the fog and headed out to sea.
The bridge at Brunswick.
Heading out the bay there was a lot of traffic. These big ships cannot stop or turn quickly so you have to make sure you stay clear of them.
Ah, finally at sea with no worries about running aground!!!
We had a beautiful day with very calm winds and seas. The only bummer is that there was not enough wind to sail. So, we motored on to The St John's inlet and Jacksonville Florida. What we did in one day on the ocean would have taken us three days on the ICW!!
