Docked in Brunswick

It was a quiet and peaceful night on the Frederica River.  The trees gave it nice protection from the wind.  It has been added to our list of favorite anchorages.

It was a quick two hour trip over to Brunswick Landing Marina and we were here by 11:15 on Sunday.  The St Simon Sound was glassy, so it was a very nice trip.

After fueling we went to our slip where BTC will stay until after Christmas.

We have been going nonstop since we got here.  Washing off the salt spray, washing clothes and Wayne had to rebuild the head to resolve a leak.  I have been picking up specialty items from our favorite stores but I had not done much provisioning before we left New Bern.  So for the past two days we have been to Walmart.  The lady in line in front of us on Sunday ask if we owned a restaurant !  I am buying nonperishables and still have LOTS to go.  Buying food for 20 weeks takes a lot of planning and shopping !

We are going to be busy between now and when we leave.

Thanksgiving will be in Marietta at the Cook's.  Wayne's sister, Anne, and her family are hosting the Poston family Thanksgiving again this year and we always look forward to spending time with them and enjoying Randy's skill with his smoker and grill :)  Wayne's parents, brother and sister-in-law will also be there.  After Thanksgiving we will check on BTC before heading home to Florida, stopping along the way to visit cruising friends.  Dec 1-9 will find us in California visiting Steve, Jen, Will and Charlotte.  I will give you fair warning now even though this is a blog about our cruise, after our trip to see the grandtwins, I will be posting adorable grandtwin pictures !

After California we get to spend a few more days at the house, getting it ready for our renters.  Then back to the boat, Belsan Christmas, Poston Christmas, Belsan after Christmas then back to the boat for final provisioning and then we head south.

The pelicans love to stand on the pilings here at the marina.  Here is one who stayed on our pole and posed  for us.  He did not seem to care that we were here or taking pictures of him.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving !
