May 21st, 2007. Flagler Beach, Fl to Savannah, GA
It took us a while to figure out how to adjust the tender tied up. We finally left Flagler Beach at 10:00. Mark was a bit frustrated because we didn’t get an early start. Slowly, labored up the ICW for couple of hours. We got the opportunity to ride pass the historic and beautiful town of St. Augustin and retreated to the ocean through the St. Augustine Inlet.
St. Augustin, Fl
The open sea wasn’t as rough as the marine forecast had predicted and was actually pretty nice – the waves were maybe two feet.
Mark wanted to head further out to sea in order to cut the distance, so we cruised about 10 miles offshore for five and a half hours. We headed back inland at Wassaw Sound as we were getting low on fuel.
We pulled in to the closest fuel dock, Thurnderbolt Marina, at 18:30 and for an hour fed the thirsty Sayonara II a hefty 700 gallons.
Kept cruising on the Wilmington River for 2 hours...we had to hurry as the sun was setting.
We arrived in Savannah, GA at 21:30. We pulled up at River Street Market Place right downtown. We rinsed the boat, quickly showered and went for a bite to eat. We walked along Riverfront Street. Exhausted, we called it a day.
It was almost 10 hours from Flagler Beach to Savannah…tomorrow will be another day.
