Attacked the non-working windlass this morning and found a burned out fuse. Of course, you have to be a contortionist to get at it!Rode our bikes to West Marine and a grocery store. Three speeds (on the bike) is definitely tougher than ten...
Hilton Head is a small barrier island about 10 mi by 5 miles and has 25 golf courses. We only rode through a small section but it was gorgeous. If you haven't been here yet, I would put it on your "to go" list. Photo: The lighthouse at Harbour Town, site of the PGA Heritage Classic).
Hilton Head to Savannah took us through more winding rivers and cuts. Welcome to Georgia! Crossed the Savannah River about seven miles south of the city but decided not to go up river. As we were approaching a narrow cut, we heard a tug boat broadcast that he was pulling a number of barges. Actually, he had over 1500 feet of barges, dredging pipes and US Army boats (see photos). We went to idle and watched as he made the turn into the river. There were three other tugs stationed along the barges to act as pusher/pullers.
