Golden Isles, Georgia

Golden Isles Marina where WM and crew are resting awhile after more than 12 months of continual sailing. The local bird population has the same idea!


The extensive Marsh Grass and 8 ft tides mean the marina floating docks are set well away from the main buildings and facilities.


Not sure the Coast Guard could catch this one? 1100HP seems a little over the top!


One of the many shrimp boats drying their nets.


The Georgia rivers and estuaries are rich in shrimp but like trawling everywhere, lots of waste and collateral damage.


Part of the Intra Coastal Waterway(ICW) near Brunswick.


The spectacular bridge crossing the main channel into the Port of Brunswick.


Typical street on St Simon’s Island, one of the many barrier islands along the coast.


Our folding bikes are once again in action after nearly 12 months stowed in an aft locker.


St Simon’s has a rural ambience and yet many of the facilities you would expect in a larger town, and only a 20 minute bike ride from the marina.


Live Oak trees are a feature of the next few pics providing both summer shade and secluded leafy suburbs.











Christmas comes to Georgia.


The park in St Simon’s Village at the mouth of the Brunswick Estuary.


The lighthouse at St Simon’s.


Extensive beach and dune country extend along the outside of the Barrier Islands.


Spanish Moss is prolific throughout the coastal regions of the SE United States.


Eventually this parasitic moss will kill its host.


Even this majestic tree on Jekyll Island is not immune.


The moss even creates an Xmas decorating opportunity!
