Our Spring Vacation  May, 2000

Exploring the Coastal Region and Out Islands of

Southern Georgia

Joe and I had been to this area a few months previous to this trip. We
realized we would have to return with our boat to really explore the coast
and the islands that are just off shore.  On island in particular that we
wanted to see is Sapelo.  It is inhabited only with the ancestors of the slaves
that had worked on the Thomas Spalding Plantation that was on Sapelo
beginning in 1802.

The trick was to get back there before the summer bugs and heat got there.
So we went home worked on the boat, and made a tent that would  allow us to
camp on the boat if we wanted to.

The first night we spent camping on the boat at Bubba's Marina.Bubba's
had the best access to Sapelo Island.   We put the boat in the water, and put
the boat tent up and had a wonderful quiet night on his docks.  We enjoyed
talking with a sweet family that was fishing for whiting off of his docks.
