Shellman Bluff
     By Water

Please allow time for the pictures to load.

To me this looks like the gateway
from land to sea at Shellman Bluff.
I think this is such a pretty view
of Shellman from the land.

This picture was taken at high tide.

This is more of Shellman Bluffs
waterfront.  That thing that
looks like a pier in the background
is one of the rigs for putting a boat
in the water.  This picture was
taken at low tide.  You can see
how low it gets.  The bottom is
exposed.  The sandbar is that light
colored area.

We took the boat out to Blackbeards
Island.  This is a point where Black-
beard and Sapelo almost touch.  We
were told that you can walk from one to
the other at low tide.  We were afraid of
getting stuck out here at low tide so
we decided to head back.  We would like
to go here again and be prepared to camp
out here on the island. 

We got stuck on a sandbar almost as soon
as we started to head back.  The tide was
dropping fast, like someone had pulled
the drain plug!  We managed to get the
boat off the mudbar, and this nice fellow
offered to let us follow him back in to
Shellman Bluff.  Joe loved this ride back.
It was so fun to be able to go fast and not
worry about the mudbars and oyster beds.
I am not so sure we even would have found
our way back without him! 

This is a picture of Sunrise at
Shellman Bluff the following
morning.  We camped on the
boat there on the right.  It is
too dark to see the tent up on
the boat, but it was a great place
to camp.

To see an old fishing camp we found while we were boating...
