Flight "settled-in" at Brusnwick
Monday 2-9-09
We got underway at 07:40 which was about a half hour before high tide. It was important to have as much water depth as possible because this section of Jekyll Creek has some notoriously shallow spots and the tidal range here is about 8.5 feet. We hit it just right with plenty of water beneath our keel and a slack current. We only had about 10-12 miles to travel since we were headed for Brunswick Landing and when we cleared the creek and entered St. Simon’s Sound, we turned to port and up the Brunswick River. Just upstream of the large highway suspension bridge we found the buoy that marks the entrance to the East River where Brunswick Landing Marina is located. We hailed the marina on channel 16 and almost immediately we heard Sherrie’s voice respond with “welcome home FLIGHT – switch to channel 68”. This is where we left the boat when we returned to PA for the holidays and Brunswick does have a “home” feel, for Polly and me. We will be here for a month while we wait for the weather up north to warm a bit before we start our homeward voyage back to the Chesapeake. We will take a break and drive to Orlando later in February to have a visit with our Son and his family, when they are vacationing there.
