Savannah was the home of Forest Gump and perhaps
the only place in the world where John will be refused a drink for not having
ID. The town was laid out by some 18th century colonist with a multitude
of squares in a grid system throughout the town, each of these is a lovely oasis
of shade with beautiful old trees, statues and promenades. It was really
pleasant to wander from area to area exploring the old buildings and quaint
shops along the way.
 Whilst in Savnnah we were an chored about 5 miles
out of town and having a fast tender made all the difference. At our
anchorage we met a lovely scaottish couple whose home town was Cambell
town. We set off together to head what was supposed to be 20 miles north
to Skull Creek, after bucking the tide in the Savannah river and having to head
along way out of our way to bypass shoal ground at the river entrance and then
beating into the wind, we arrived some six and a half hours later to a
lovely little anchorage in a small side channel of the ICW.
