A beautiful morning at the Duplin River GA.

Today was another typical day in the ditch. got off early so we could take advantage of the high tide for the notorious Mud River shoals (shallow spots). We cleared them easily and made it to within a quarter mile of our anchor spot before the tide was out enough to cause us problems. We bumped a couple times in the main channel, which was kind of sketchy anyway, then we turned into Brickhill Creek to find ourselves stuck fast in 5'9" of water (we draw 6'4"!). Well, it was a beautiful spot and we threw out the anchor and waited for the tide to come in. Within 30 minutes we were floating again and cruised the last 1/4 mile up the creek to anchor near the Plum Orchard Dock on Cumberland Island. The Island has lots of history (look it up) and is now a National Park with a ferry arriving every other Sunday! Lots of big Oaks with Spanish Moss hanging.

We are about to have a huge thunder storm, so I had better post this and get below! (Big storm fizzled out!)
