Today’s highlight – we hit 2,000 miles on our Great Loop Journey! Today’s lowlight…we lost the autopilot and had to manually maneuver a ton of wiggles. So happy to be docked!

Day 97 (7/27/26) – Layover in Beaufort, South Carolina
Today’s highlight – touring the Beaufort Historic District! In spite of the heat, we jumped on our bikes and viewed many beautiful historic homes. It’s hard to appreciate the beauty of these homes through photographs, but I’ve tried really hard! Cotton was king here until the Civil War. Then everything changed. Beaufort played a key…

After a lovely week exploring historic Savannah, we departed today for Hilton Head. We had calm seas and light winds.

The lock eliminates tidal effects…

We had a short, scenic cruise to Thunderbolt Marina just outside Savannah. Another hot day with calm seas and sunny skies. We saw a large number of dolphins in the Skidaway River. Fun fact: Georgia’s Golden Isles (Cumberland, Jekyll, St. Simons, and Sapelo) are home to one-third of the East Coast’s salt marshes! Their pristine…

Day 86 (7/16/26) – Jekyll Harbor Marina to Kilkenny Marina
Today was one of our longest days, although we could not have asked for better seas. We left Jekyll Marina on a rising tide and had no shallow water issues. It was calm and sunny, but very hot (it was 90 degrees F when we arrived at our destination). For anyone navigating the AICW, we…
