Georgia Coast Memorial Day 2020

[Ron in Atlanta]

OK, this thing is still surreal but we were able to get out on the Georgia Coast for a beautiful few days of sun and wildlife.

Great Egret in flight up the Butler River

 

A snowy Egret and a Great Egret along General's Cut, Darien.

 

A young Roseate Spoonbill, South River between Wolf Island and Queens Island

 

Anchored just off the beach, Little Wassaw Island

Anhinga, Black Crowned Night Heron, Wood Stork and an immature Ibis all at Harris Neck

Ramps were open, restaurants were only doing take-out.  I've got to say that take-out fried Shrimp (sat in the boat for dinner) from Speed's Kitchen in Shelman Bluff was way better than another hamburger at home in Atlanta.

Hope you are all getting out SAFELY - see you on the water.

Is that a scum line I see on your boat😲 Bet that drives you crazy but I know it won’t be on there long. 😃

I KNEW someone would spot that!  

We had launched up the Ogeechee River near Ft McAllister and the water surface up there can get a little dirty depending on the tides.  Once I put down the camera, I grabbed one of the 3 sponges that we carry and wiped it off while still wet.  One thing about 23 layers of Zaino Wax, everything wipes off easily.

Here she is the next day, with towing covers in place, all clean.

Lol knew it wouldn’t take long. Looks great as always. Got to get me some of that Zaino!
