Wonderful sailing through the marshes yesterday morning on the Mackay River. Timed my crossing of St. Simon Sound poorly, tacking into a strong west wind while fighting a strong ebb current. Found myself losing ground and was slowly backing towards the ocean. Quickly surrendered and started up the outboard to power to Jekyll Island. Lesson learned on ebb tides and west winds.

That’s the local alligator, he has been in a little pond just a short walk away from the marina. Benn there every time I have sailed through in the last four or five years.
