Today we were up early for a long run offshore. Weather predictions were favorable, with calm predicted, as evidenced by the pall from the inland forest fires, which clouded the morning sun.
After fueling at Port Consolidated here, we headed for the inlet. This boat had been anchored there for a long time.
This has been a strategic location for centuries, as evidenced by the fort.
The seas kicked up more than we expected, but there were several places to go back into the protected Intracoastal, and we chose St. Simons Inlet, with its clearly visible lighthouse.
Other boats also were coming inside, like the fishing boat the Miss Marie. She wasn’t worried about the weather, just about her full hold of seafood.
We traveled up the Intracoastal to Cattle Pen Creek for a safe anchorage.
