Green Flies

We have been unble to post for a couple of days, The
blog server was down.  We stopped in St. Simon Island for a couple of days.  We rode bikes into town and enjoyed some of the best BBQ we have ever had at a little place called Southern Souls BBQ.  It looked like it had been a gas station in times past ,, SOOOO GOOD. We departed St. Simon at 0815 and I got us lost for the first hour.  Back on the ICW we were assaulted by the famous low country green flies  These creatures are about the size of a small honey bee and suck blood.  We had so many in the cockpit that we felt like Kathryn Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart in the African Queen when they were invaded by insects.  Denniese surmised that movement and sound caused them to invade us so we stayed real still until a good sea breeze started and blew them away.  By 1600 we were in a nice quite anchorage off the ICW next to St. Catherine Island which is next to nothing.  We just barely have a single bar in the cell coverage for this blog and can see no city lights or houses.  NICE..   Cannot do a picture tonight since we do not have much cellular power.  M&D
