Jekyll Harbor Marina MM 685

Today the weather changed and we barley saw the sunshine! Thank goodness we are not a sailboat - those hardy sailors were all wrapped up today. After almost nine hours cruising NH is finally on the transient dock at Jekyll Island. This is one of our favorite spots so we are so happy to spend a Layday here tomorrow. This is our last stop before our final destination of Tiger Point Marina. 

Today Nana spotted a bald eagle perched on drift wood along the marsh grass. Patience pays off when she watches it take flight. A little further along the route she spotted a pod of white Pelicans in flight. Such graceful birds. The American white pelican doesn’t dive into the water for its food like the brown pelican. It floats on the water and scoops up fish and water in its pouch. 

Jekyll Island is situated within the chain of the Golden Isles. The island has several beaches on the east side, a campground, convention center, golf courses, water park, mini golf, several lodging options and of course the famous Jekyll Island Club Resort. The Marina provides bikes and golf carts which of course we take advantage. The on-site restaurant Zachary’s Riverhouse is excellent.

The pictures are not great due to the shifting wind , the movement of the boat and using the iPad - but it gives you some visual.

Nana and Nandad decided they deserved a little treat after such a long cruise.
