Offshore Cruise


Today we decided to test the theory that the world is flat….instead of the serpentine course through Georgia, we went out into the Atlantic Ocean for a more direct route. We followed the 45’ Florida coaster “Sails” out to sea and used her as the ‘pathfinder’. Seas were 2-3 ft and a little ‘rolly’ but we didn’t have bridges and shoals to worry about. Not much to see out there….not quite in the middle of the ocean but far enough.

Arrived south of St Catherines Island, GA and anchored in a lovely creek. Went ashore in the dinghy and walked on a pristine beach with many dead trees. As the world's ocean levels increase, the salt water eventually kills the trees. The beach is only visible at low tide…otherwise it is four feet under water.
