We picked up the Enterprise rental we had arranged for the weekend and did some shopping on the way back to the Marina. Engine oil and spare light bulbs for the boat and lunch for Polly and I at a seafood place near I-95 – great shrimp. We decided to drive to Jekyll Island. Jekyll was originally owned and developed by a group of super wealthy families – Rockefeller, Pulitzer, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Crane etc. in the early 1900s as a winter get away.

Since 1947, the island has been owned by the state of Georgia and is a wonderful place full of natural beauty and history. We were totally surprised by the extent of public recreation sites and beach access that is available on the island – too many things to mention here. Check out http://www.jekyllisland.com/ .
After driving, photographing and walking around Jekyll for the remainder of the afternoon we drove back to Brunswick and the boat. With our departure date approaching we have been working to use up all perishable food so we can turn off the refrigerator, so dinner was a salad using up the remainder of the fresh spinach and left over chicken we grilled the evening before.
