Yesterday we left Wahoo Creek yesterday at about 8:30 am, waiting for the tide to begin to rise as we had a few areas that were reported to be shallow to go through. So as we headed out, we set out with 8 sailboats in a row, no one wanting to be in the lead. But we all made it through without incident. The day was spent in winding up one creek, through a cut and down another, current with us, then against. This was the most remote area of Georgia we have seen, and it has been a beautiful trip. And we have found that the concerns for low water seem overrated. Having written that, I am now listening on the VHF to a boat ahead of us aground at the mouth of the creek we're in, so we can sit a while longer and wait for the tide! By days end yesterday, we pulled into Frederica River, off St Simons Island, where the remains of the town of Frederica and its protecting fort are located. The fort and town were established in 1736 by Sir James Oglethorp, who had been sent out from England to defend the Carolinas from the Spanish in Florida. In times of peace, Oglethorp prepared for war with enthusiasm, and went at it with a passion whenever an excuse showed up. He first established Savannah, then moved down to this site, where he built the fort and small town. At its peak, the town had about 500 residents and 1,000 troops. The fort was located on a narrow creek where it would be impossible for the Spanish ships to attack, forcing them to land troops and attack overland. And in 1742, when they did attack, they marched straight into an ambush set up by Oglethorp. After retreating, they attacked again next morning, and again were ambushed. This was enough for the Spanish, ending the Battle of Bloody Marsh, and the Spanish never again threatened the English colonies. Shortly after, the military withdrew from the island, and the town was totally abandoned shortly after. In the 1970's the site was excavated and the remains of the town exposed. And the park kindly built a dinghy dock that we tied up to to go ashore. With the exception of parts of the fort, nothing but the foundations of the buildings remain. But a lot of work done to establish the original uses of the buildings, and the tour is fascinating. And we were able to pick up some pecans and oranges off the ground. The oranges were sour, but the pecans excellent. The site is now overgrown with huge Live Oaks, all draped in Spanish Moss, giving it a very spooky sense, even in broad daylight. Back aboard, we settled in for Chicken in pesto-cream sauce, with penne pasta. And for dessert, we had a couple of phenomenal chocolates from Savannah! Today, off to Cumberland Island (when the tide permits)!
