Georgia

     We are now in Georgia, near Savannah. We're at a marina strange as that may be. It's cheap and it has internet which allows us to watch SNY TV and the UConn Women's Basketball. Monday we'll go to another marina where we can walk to a bar that has TVs with ESPN and the UConn-Notre Dame game.

     It was four days to here, four windy days. Four very cold, windy days. We are at marinas mostly because of that cold. Marinas have electricity. Electricity makes heat. Freezing temps outside, 60s inside. Or mid-fifties inside at night. Livable. 30s are not.

     There is one upside to the cold and wind. One. An upside you may ask???? Yes. No gnats. The last two years when we got to Georgia the gnats were here to greet us. Eat and greet. No fun.

     The marina we're at right now is a little - uh - rural. Picture banjo music. Deliverance. People with 5 - 6 teeth. Between 2-3 people. Altogether.

     But we're having a good time. Watched UConn and had our good friends Mike and Carol stop by after visiting their granddaughter in Beaufort, SC. We had dinner and they spent the night before heading back to their home in Ft Pierce, FL. A nice surprise. And they brought pie. Apple pie. Mmmmm, good pie.

Next stops include Hilton Head and Beufort before getting to Charleston for a few weeks while Carol flies off to work. Supposed to get back up to 70 or so when we get there. We can only hope.
