ICW Day 33, Friday November 18, 43nm, statue mile 665.9, 799 total miles.
The big concern today is making it through the Little Mud River before low tide. Only 4.5 feet at low tide. And if we do not make it through today, we will have to wait all day tomorrow to make it under the Jekyll Island bridge. Woke up to fog, and had to wait… almost 2 hours. Wally and the rest did not think we would make it through the Little Mud River, so made plans to anchor prior to the river. We finally got underway around 10 or so. I moved up behind Valentine. Once the fog cleared it was a beautiful day, and making good time we realized the faster boats could make it through the Little Mud River, so we pushed ahead. 10 feet of water in the river and we were good to go. Very happy to make it to Frederica.
Anchored with Valentine, Let It Be, and Elan in the Frederica River off of the historic Fort Frederica. Deep, narrow, and winding river, and yet another interesting place. Tried the dingy and it was hydro locked again! I can’t believe it. Rode around the anchorage with Jack and Diane. Cooked a cheeseburger for dinner and enjoyed a quiet evening.
