Ahhhhh...tranquil waters now after a 2-day offshore passage from SC. All is well for the MV Ruby Slipper, now anchored in the lovely waters off Cumberland Island, GA, a national seashore protected by the US Department of the Interior. Live oak forests where you can hear yourself breathe, sunlight diffused over these over arching historic trees, armadillos scurring about, wild horses prancing on the shore, gleaming white dunes, crumbling mansions of a by-gone era...this is one of our country's greatest parks. We'll hike the trails, see the ruins of old slave shanteys who worked the cotton fields, enjoy the pristine beaches & savor every moment of being alive. Next to St. Mary's, GA where we'll celebrate Thankgiving with many other cruisers & locals as the town provides turkeys, hams & raw oysters. We, cruisers bring the side dishes & desserts. Thanksgiving is a time for all of us to give thanks for all we have & mend bridges. Love you all!
