THE JOURNEYS OF TERRMAR IV: MAY 13-15,2013- SAVANNAH, GA

OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.

Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

MAY 13-15,2013- SAVANNAH, GA

This was an enchanted place that was made more alive after we viewed the movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (borrowed from Darleen & John – Island Rhumb). We docked at the Isle of Hope Marina which was a good taxi ride into the historic city of Savannah but a heavenly spot to stroll down the old oak canopied streets, air perfumed with the scent of magnolia and jasmine.

We opted for the trolley tour in Savannah, which gave us an informative overview of the downtown historic district. What’s not to like with the preserved riverfront, 22 of 24 original park squares, diverse architectural and historic structures and having the honour of being named “America’s most haunted city”.

Lunch was superb as we dined at the Olde Pink House Restaurant and sampled some Low country Southern specialties such as She Crab soup and Fried Green Tomatoes.

This stopover will not soon be forgotten!
