2012 was a monumental year for our coastal cruising life as we moved
Roma from St. Simon's Island to Savannah and started our exploration of Georgia first city by water. Although we never intended to make Savannah our new water home, we also never expected our stay to last only three months. The thing about boats is that they often dictate what you are going to do. A less than friendly marina and issues with
Roma's bottom paint forced us to head back to St. Simon's Island for what turned into a five month haul out.
During our stay in Savannah we did manage to make one trip on
Roma to River Street along with Joe and Pat Brasfield, our good friends on
Sabrina. The main reason we moved to Savannah was to conduct research on the sailing community and cruising destinations for an article. After a marathon writing session and what seemed like an eternity part one of my article was published in the October 2013 issue of Southwinds Magazine. Part two was published in November.
