Jekyll Island, GA

Nov. 12-13, 2020.  A long day on the GA intracoastal through the grasslands with lots of rain and some wind (Hurricane Eta again).  When we arrived at the Brunswick River cut we found this freighter, the MV Golden Ray, on its side.  Researching we found that it sunk in Sept. of 2019 at only 3 years old, for unknown reasons. It is being cut up in place.  We into Jekyll in time for a mini tour on the golf cart through the Historic District.  This area includes the original Jekyll Island Club.  The Club officially opened its doors in January 1888, quickly becoming a retreat for families that represented one-sixth of the world's wealth. Many of the members built expansive houses over the next 30-40 years which are now hotels and wedding venues.  Dinner at the marina at Zachary's was good with local fish.  We spent the next morning taking the golf cart to the driftwood beach which I found to be photographers paradise.  Enjoyed a lunch at the Jekyll Island Club in the Historic District before heading to Fernadina Beach, FL.
