Day 188: Jekyll Island Marina (Jekyll Island, GA) to Brunswick Landing Marina (Brunswick, GA) 5/6/22

In the morning before Mike started work, we used the marina’s free golf cart to drive into town for breakfast with Steve and Terri. We did a little shopping and headed back.

At 10 am, we pulled away from Jekyll Island marina for a 3 hour trip to Brunswick Landing marina in Brunswick, GA. We heard the bridge next to the marina can be tricky due to current and tide. So, we decided to leave at high tide. The bridge turned out to be pretty easy. There was some shallow areas along the intercoastal so we went slow and carefully followed our charts. Jen drove and Kelly navigated.  

Pulling into the slip at Brunswick Landing happened smoothly. There was little current moving us around and the slips were wide with an easy approach. Whew!

Our friends, Kent, Katie, Ruby and Violet on “Silver Linings” were at a nearby marina so they took an Uber over to spend the evening with us. It was great to have “Silver Linings”, “In Custody” and “Wishes” back together which was the first time since we crossed the Gulf from Carrabelle to Clearwater FL. We were all so excited to see each other. We went to the festival in downtown Brunswick. Many of the stores were giving away free beer and margaritas. Jen got a cool denim jacket with white flowers painted on it…..and we got several drinks.

Unfortunately, it began to rain. We ordered some pizzas to bring back to the marina and sat under a pergola. We shared our travel stories and supported each other in our challenges. It was great to laugh at our stresses with fellow boaters that can relate. It energized us to continue our adventure.
