January 19th - Day 6 - Hilton Head to Savannah

We left Hilton Head in the morning swinging by to take a picture of the iconic light house and planning on stopping to play golf on the way back.


We were enjoying the first wind free day in three days and lazily cruising down the ICW when we left South Carolina and entered Georgia at about 11 am. 

We passed by the cut off for the City of Savannah and continued on the Wilmington River.  This area is some of the most beautiful that we had seen since leaving Charleston.  At about 1 pm we were passing through the Savannah Bend of the ICW when the starboard engine quit.  Lucky for us we were right next to the Thunderbolt Marina when this happened and pulled in on the port engine and tied up.  Long story short we traveled seven more miles down the ICW to the Isle of Hope Marina where we docked the CU Later for the weekend until a mechanic could look at the boat on Monday.  So now that we are way too familiar with the term dead in the water we will see what we learn on Monday from our second "new best friend".
