WEDNESDAY APRIL 14TH

A quiet day. We moved the boat about 10 miles to Bahia Bleu Marina in Thunderbolt, Georgia. We will be leaving the boat here for 3 weeks while we return to Minnesota.

Just did mundane chores. One chore was to clean out the sea strainers. To cool the engines the water gets sucked in from outside and passes through these strainers.  Usually we just find sticks and lily pad gunk. Today Ross found all sorts of interesting tidbits. I wish I had a magnifying lens so we could have looked at it closer. This shrimp was the largest creature we found. I don’t think it was a pistol shrimp, unless he lost his pistol claw getting sucked in through the strainer.  There were also tiny minnows and worm like creatures. This is getting down to the low end of the food chain. Glad to see there is abundant life going on there.

  1. Hi Nancy from Lucy and I! We are at the MSP airport waiting for our flight to Richmond, VA via Detroit. This is our week that we visit Virginia for Historic Garden Week basing ourselves in Williamsburg. Sounds like you are enjoying your time. Of course, we love the pictures of the azaleas the most! Say hello to Tybee Island when you arrive/go past there. Hopefully, you'll be going to Savannah? Almost went there this spring but went to AZ instead traveling with my brother and his wife in their 5th Wheel trailer for 2 1/2 weeks. Savannah is one of my very favorite cities to go to. Probably will try get there again next year in time for the azaleas there. Needless to say, they are gorgeous! Take care, Lucy and Eileen
