Savannah or Bust...




Captain's Blog: Skull Creek Marina Destination Savannah.
A perfect day. Great friends, and a new adventure. Travelling south down the Inter coastal we headed up the Cooper River and around Daufauskie Island. Here we bumped in to another boat that was heading down from Virginia. How exciting, to meet a friend of ours travelling down the inter coastal.
We docked next to Marsh Side Mamas and picked up our friend. The rest of her crew were going to be spending the night in a quiet cove on the New River. She preferred the opportunity to kick up her heels in Savannah. We headed up Ramshorn Creek and then on to Fields cut. You definitely need a chart for this area because it is not as easy as it sounds. Heading up the Savannah River is impressive. We are dwarfed next to the barges and their long blasts remind us to stay clear. I have no intention of going anywhere near these vessels. I was even too chicken to park in front of River Street. I parked on the other side of the river and we took the ferry over. We then proceeded to enjoy a fantastic lunch at The Bohemian Hotel. Another fun day thanks to Freedom Boat Club
