Our 1st Anchorage was a success! St. Simons Island, Georgia

We took turns on anchor watch last night since it was our first experience with this type of anchor. It was also our first experience anchoring in such a strong current and in an 8' tidal difference.  We are now confident that in the future no anchor watch is needed, in conditions similar or less, as it stuck perfectly.  We pulled up anchor at 6:44 a.m. and headed north.  We traveled approximately 41 NM in the ICW along the beautiful Cumberland Island National Seashore.  We are docked at Morningstar Marina in St. Simons Island, GA for a day or two.


At port we were greeted by fellow Loopers, Foster and Susan, who are on the final stretch of their year long loop excursion.  They invited us to our 1st traditional "Looper Docktails"! We enjoyed visiting with them and the knowledge they so generously shared.
