Lucy III is the red triangle
This is what you see when you look around the boat this evening - for miles and miles.

Marc-  We left Jekyll Island this morning after filling our fuel tanks and with help from Michael and the dock staff turning the boat in the current.  At first we saw good speed as we were helped along by the tidal current but this changed as we turned in St. Simons Sound to head up the next river.  The ICW here is a series of interconnected sounds and riverways such that you never get a favorable current for very long.  At one point we were doing only 3.5 knots and later we were doing 8.6 knots.  We decided to call it a day in the Wahoo River Anchorage rafted up with Fiddler's Green.

Check out that boat speed

No mistakes allowed around here.

Then we entered the Little Mud River.  The depth showed only 2.9 feet yet we plowed through it somehow.  We did have a tidal push of 2.5 knots making our boat speed 6.1 knots through here.

Little Mud River.

It really is a river of mud.
