Much
for which to be thankful
After
a brief stop in GA where we enjoyed visiting looping friends on St Simmons and
fueling up at Brunswick Landing, we headed off shore to the St John’s River and
our winter home at Ortega Landing. The
hospitality of GA needs a mention as we visited two spectacular restaurants
with EJ and Charlie – their generosity and talent as hosts are impressive. We
are hoping they will find time to visit us in J’ville so we can make an attempt
to reciprocate.
One
final comment – about the kindness of fellow boaters which we experience so
often: We wanted to stop at the free
dock on Sister’s Creek after our off shore run from Brunswick but knew we would arrive about
sunset during this busy season. If the
dock was already full we wanted to avoid the short run up the creek and just
hunt a spot on the river. This dock has
a self-appointed welcome host – Captain Browne Altman – who gave us his card on
a previous visit. So, from off shore we
called him to check on the status of the dock.
He not only agreed to keep us updated on the space available but was on
the dock in the early evening to catch our lines. It is kindness of folks like Captain Altman
and our friends in St Simmons that make the cruising life so special.
