01/21/26 - Last Night and Day in Georgia

We said goodbye to Little St. Simon's Island in the glow of morning. It was cold and windy, and we were a small party departing, so we took the smaller but faster boat rather than the more larger, more sedate one. It was a wild ride but a short one. We had a 300 horsepower motor and blasted over the water leaving a cloud of spray. It was cold, and the wind was fierce, but it was over quickly.

We had a short drive to The Cloister where we had a quiet dinner watching the sunset, inland over the river. We may be from the west coast, but we weren't going to get tricked into watching the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean.

The next morning, we took a short walk on the beach. The rest of the day was going to be planes, trains and automobiles. We had to drive to Charleston and catch a flight to Seattle which naturally meant taking the Seatac subway from one of the satellite terminals. We really did take a train.

Our plan was to spend a night at Seatac and then catch a puddle jumper home. The night in Seattle went as planned.



The hot water line in froze in the night. Here's some more frozen water.
