Post # 90: Sunrise, Sunset

Friday, November 12 to Saturday, November 13, 2021

One of the reasons we like to dock at the Isle of Hope Marina in Savannah is for its bucolic setting. I want to share these iPhone photos of the radiant aurora created as first light broke. The second photo was taken 3 minutes after the first and I have not altered them in any way.


From Savannah we motored down the Skidaway River, past Moon River near the Mercer’s summer home, “Vernon View.” It’s not really “wider than a mile,” but it is wide enough to be able to listen to Andy Williams sing Moon River as you cross it.  What a voice…

We were following creeks and rivers, and crossing marshes and sounds as we motored behind more of Georgia’s barrier islands: Ossabaw, St. Catherine’s, Sapelo, Altamaha and St. Simon’s. We’re itching to get out onto the Atlantic and really sail again.  But here are some watery photos from the two mornings we trundled along, entirely alone for hours at a time.

The mists of Avalon…


When we reached our final anchorage, it was just us and a bald eagle.

And then the sun set.
