We’re hangin’ with the rich folks today “Somedayers”. Jekyll Island, Georgia is the home to “The Jekyll Island Club”, where all the hoity-toity super rich folks from New England used to come back in the 20’s and 30’s. They had themselves a “cottage community” on the island of mansions that they would come down to in the winter when it got to cold for them up north. That’s where we are now. We got a slip at Jekyll Harbor Marina, which ironically is the same place my folks kept their boat when we lived in Georgia about seventeen years ago. The place hasn’t been “elite” since the 40’s, but we’re trying to bring it back by docking the Banana here. We made really good time today; we left at about 0720hrs this morning, just after first light. We were hoping to make it all the way through Georgia and stop at Fernandina, Florida. But, we got tired and saw that several of our cruising companions were stopped here as well so we pulled in for the night. It was a fairly dreary day today and we didn’t take any pictures… sorry. Banana Winds standing by on 16… Clear.
