St. Mary's

 Hi all,

Not much to report, happily! Decided to come to the lovely little town of St Marys, GA since it offers a more protected anchorage. Need to do some provisioning today which will involve a lot of walking and a cab ride. And tomorrow I hope to find propane which I am getting low on. My next guest comes on Wednesday. She is Brittany Vallene, who spent time on White Seal over a year ago and has been looking forward to more cruising, this time on salt water. We hope to start off with another trip to Cumberland which is not far from here.

Regarding Cumberland, I picked up a copy of the book "Untamed", by Will Harlow, and recommend it highly. Its about Carol Ruckdeschel, who has been studying sea turtles on Cumberland and living in a cabin she built out there for over 40 years. She has played an important role as well in limiting development by the park service. Vilified by many because of her propensity to speak her mind and step on the toes of some very wealthy and well connected folks. Tons, I mean TONS of drama in this book. She's still out there at age 80 and it would be beyond awesome to meet her.

Best to all, Charlie
