Brunswick, GA

Beautiful sleeping night followed by an easy morning. Today we were only planning to advance to Brunswick to pick up fuel. Bon Voyage had left at first light without even a toot. We recovered the anchor at about 9:00AM. It was a particularly fine and sunny morning and a real pleasure to wind through the Georgia marsh.

We were at the fuel dock by 2 PM and took on 616 gallons of diesel at $3.60 a gallon - a good price. We had purchased 100 gallons in the Bahamas and 100 gallons in Ft Pierce, so basically our Bahamas cruise consumed 800 gallons, for about 1,600 miles. I get nervous when the tanks get low.

We are planning to go offshore tomorrow to Port Royal in SC. Will be a 14 or 15 hour day but will cut off the rest of Georgia. Then an easy 2 days to Charleston.
