4 January - Day #33. After not getting a perfect night's sleep because of the current bubbling against the hull, we pulled up the anchor at daybreak and began heading south. There was frost on the boat and we knew we needed to continue searching for warmer weather. We made our plans for a nine hour cruising day but along the way we decided to take a detour and visit the town of Brunswick, Ga. The rule of being anchored before dark was replaced with being at the dock in time to find a place for lunch in town. We easily met our goal and found a very nice pizza place along main street. The city was laid out in 1771 by the Royal Province of Georgia in the same strong grid pattern General James Oglethorpe used in establishing the City of Savannah. This makes it an easy town to walk, with the added scenic benefit of historic buildings and beautiful live oaks everywhere. The picture is of a monument to the war dead from the Confederate States of America. We're happily docked at the Brunswick Landing Marina, GA for the night. 30nm today and 757nm total. BJH
