Left Jax Beach Tuesday morning and ran under power for about
35 miles. Anchored behind Cumberland Island, GA, a very
pretty national park. Today we continued, reaching Jekyll Creek,
which renders Jekyll Island an island, in early afternoon. This
creek is considered one of the shallowest places on the ICW,
with a tidal range of 8 feet. Of course we arrived as low tide
was approaching, but we joined two other sailboats to form a
convoy. The medium draft boat went first, we with the least
draft went second (so we could help if the first boat went
aground), and the deepest draft (6 feet) boat went last. We
slowly picked our way through the creek, and we all got
through with just a slight brush or two with the bottom.

We anchored for the night behind St. Simons Island. Looks like
we will get some rain.

Tomorrow we head up through the Little Mud River, the second-
worst passage for depth. Should be a piece of cake.
