As we departed the anchorage off Johnsons Marsh, we heard weather reports that thunderstorms were predicted. We did'nt have a full blown blow but what we did have was a steady hard rain which hit us at noon. It hit in the hardest place to navigate on the whole ICW. "HELL'S GATE", which is a small shallow cut between to islands. Only the good instrumentation of this boat got us through. We were down to limited visibility and steerage by the Chart Plotter and Radar. It rained until almost sunset and then turned real nice. We are at anchor at Turner Creek which is close to the SC state line. Good- bye Peach and green head fly state. Someone asked who writes these. We both do. I write them and Denniese corrects my poor grammar and limited spelling. Someone wanted to know what we do all day. Our day is packed with work. We don't have time for much else. Everything has to be thought out and done carefully. Don't slip and fall overboard, don't run aground, remember to turn off half a dozen switches. Make sure the engine runs smooth and is cared for. Make sure the anchor is holding good and most of all load the dog in the dinghy and find a grassy spot. All in a day. What's not to enjoy. Ralph, keep saying those prayers for us each morning at 0530. Thanks all for the love and support. Pic is of the Georgia state bug. The green headed fly...dead!!
