USA - Georgia, Wilmington River, 4th July, A visit to Brad and Johanna

We spent the week in West Palm Beach with almost no wind. The prediction was for wind to fill in on Friday 2 July, so we waited the 5 days and set off mid morning on Friday 2nd.

The big marinas we’re interestingly not as busy as we’d seen them in December 2020

 

Once again thank you to the Palm Beach Sailing Club who graciously received Amazon parcels on our behalf.

We headed directly east from West Palm Beach, the current pushing us in a NE direction, until we had a good 5 knots of Gulf Stream Current with us, and then we turned north and rode the current until it was time to head inland to Savannah.

Loved seeing the dolphins, we had a school of about 20 playing around Meshugga for a good half hour

We arrived midnight of 3 July at the inlet of the Wilmington River, and dropped anchor there rather than motor at midnight up a dark river.

The following day, 4th July we motored up the river and docked at Brad and Johanna’s house

Johanna comes to visit

We were invited by Brad and Johanna to join them for a 4th July BBQ Party at their neighbors house, also on the river.
