Day 227
This has been a day of coincidences, there were 6 loopers
at Brunswick Landing marina and we knew that 5 of us were leaving today but did
not discuss a time to leave. Moni and I
decided to leave around 8, and pulled out of our slip to find “Corkscrew”
passing our pier and “California Lady” leaving the dock. When we pulled out of our pier, “Act III” and
“Sandrobber” were falling in behind us.
We were all taking the same ICW route north, but had different destinations
planned so we decided to travel as a group.
Okay, maybe that’s not too weird because most loopers
leave the marina early, but here’s the kicker.
Our boat used to be named “Mascott” and in 2008 was located in Massachusetts. We bought our boat at Grand Rivers, Ky and the
boat name was “Cheers”. I had contacted
the previous owner of “Mascott” just before starting the loop in September and
told them about our adventure. They were
also cruising south for the winter in their new boat “Mascott” and said they
too would be heading north this spring.
After cruising several miles this morning, I hear a call
on the radio “Mainship 390 switch to channel 17”. I switched to channel 17 and was greeted by “Mascott”! What are the chances of that!
“Sandrobber”, “Mascott”, “California Lady”, and “Corkscrew”
After that, the rest of the day was uneventful; this area
of Georgia is nothing but miles and miles of salt marsh.
We anchored a mile or so off of the ICW in New Teakettle Creek;
our view is about the same as it has been all day.
We watched this trawler heading north on the ICW, it
looks like he’s plowing through the salt marsh.
