Great Day on Jekyll





We had a busy day today on Jekyll. We started out doing the various boat chores which accumulate. I changed the oil and vacuumed out the boat while Carol borrowed the marina van and went grocery shopping.

We rode the bikes back to the Jekyll Island Club Hotel and had a terrific lunch in the Grand Dining Room. Very relaxing - I can't remember spending over an hour and a half for lunch. A dish like shrimp and grits for Carol, and capellini with shrimp, shittake mushrooms, kalamata olives, and artichoke hearts in a garlic and white wine sauce for me - yumm!! Dinner will be an apple, some yogurt, and a cookie.

Then we got back on the bikes and tried to work off some of the calories. We stopped by the Georgia Sea Turtle and got to visit the patients in the turtle hospital. It was facinating to learn how they restore rescued turtles to health with the goal of returning them to their habitat.

We are off to Florida tomorrow if the weather settles down a bit over night.
