feeling our way through Georgia

Date:12-05-07
Start Time: 0645
End Time:1645
Cruise From: Herb River, GA
Cruise To: New Teakettle Creek, Georgia
Weather/Sea Conditions: 10 To 13 Knot winds with gusts to 18. Sunny with a temperature in the cockpit of 68 degrees

Captain's Log: WE left early so we could catch high tide at Hell's Gate. We got caught at Skidway Narrow Bridge. Had to wait one hour for an opening. Needles to say, we got to Hell's Gate at low tide. It shoals to 5 feet. Now there is a spot that is 5.3 feet. It was a little tricky but we got through. Bouy number "167" G near Teakettle Creek is missing. There were quite a few close/tight spots in this area! We see a lot of dolphins swimming around the boat. While we are at anchor this evening, we saw a bunch of dolphins playing around the boat. It was real kewl!!!!!

I bet it is absolutely wonderful to see those dolphins! It must be such a thrill to see and experience another part of life other than on land. What a trip!
Captain Sue, we are off to try for slot dollars!!!!!!!
