we are in Savannah this weekend for Easter celebration and visits with
friends. two weeks ago, we were at Cumberland Island, walking past
wild horses (just 2-3 feet away!) and enjoying quiet nights in the bay
on the west side of the island. We also spent 5 days at Jekyll Island
with great biking and beautiful mansions/cottages from the days when
the Rockefellers, etc., would spend the winter on the island.
After coming down the Mississippi to Cairo, IL, we turned upstream on
the Ohio, then Cumberland River to Kentucky Lake. Next it was down the
Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway and out to the Gulf in Mobile, AL Since
then we've been in the intracoastal waterway except for the crossing
from Carabelle to Steinhatchee FL, and some time spent in the Keys.
It's an extraordinary trip which I would recommend to anyone who loves
being on water.
