We have been enjoying some spectacular weather as we wander up the east coast, visiting places we have never been, adding to the list of places to visit again. March has been a slower pace; we had the time and didn't want to get ahead of the nice spring weather.
 |
| Sunset from Jekyll Island - pelicans making a low pass |
 |
| North from Jekyll Island, Route 17 bridge near Brunswick, GA |
 |
| Along the ICW |
 |
| Easier to avoid the crab pots at low tide |
 |
| All alone at sunset off St Catherines Island |
 |
| Helpful bird marking the crab pot ;) |
 |
| Redbud trees in Isle of Hope - so different looking draped in Spanish Moss |

 |
| Sunlight coming through the bridge cutouts in Beaufort, SC |

 |
| I end up looking up lots of things as we travel - this really was a traveling orchestra, and the boat is in the process of being saved from the scrap yard to eventually be refurbished and docked in Philadelphia |
 |

 |
| Not abandoned, just low tide anchorage (nice soaking tub on the top deck) |
 |
| Going through the ICW at low tide - definitely want to stay in the channel |
 |
| I try to visit artist cooperatives when they exist and have seen so much wonderful original art and spoken to so many interesting artists - would have loved to take this one home, unfortunately way too big for the boat |
 |
| High tide on the ICW, about 6-foot swings |
 |
| Our travel group on this day were boats from ME, NH and CT (waiting for the swing bridge) |
 |
| Emilie B as we cruised by south of Myrtle Beach |

| Seems like a perfect place for solar |
 |
| House painted to match mermaid? |
 |
| Kyra's favorite sleeping time is when we're underway |

| Southport, NC - container ships transit a winding channel on the way to Wilmington, SC - this is the view from our marina |
 |
| Mermaid swimming lesson - porch art in Southport, NC |
