St Catherine's Island, Georgia





We anchored for the night in Walburg Creek, a place we have stopped three times before. Went ashore in the morning for a walk at low tide. Observant 'bloggers' will remember the photos of the beach and trees from the last two years. The "tree graveyard" is a result of the salt water encroaching on the land killing the pine trees. Slowly, land is washed away from the roots and the tree finally topples. Not sure how long this process takes but there are some very dead, tall trees still standing with their roots exposed.
