Thanks for the ideas. We’ll try to hit as many dog friendly towns as we can.

The dolphins are one the way!

I’d love to see the photos of the dolphins. Thank you both for taking us all on your adventure

Great, you made it to St. Marys, GA! We were going to try to make it there by car one time on our trip coming back from the north but the weather interfered and we had Freckles. (It might have been the time when Larry was trying to outrun a hurricane and get south before it came across FL.)

We have made it to Jekyll Island (by car) off of Brunswick, GA and we found it to be a dog friendly place. Their low country boil at the marina is a delicious recipe but expensive. We always stay in Darien, GA (mm 49 on I-95) near where the shrimpers dock and that’s a dog friendly town. Homeland Security trains out of Mudcat Charlie’s where we eat. You’ll see their boats docked there. The marina also has a Kingfish tournament every mid-June and sportfishing boats come from all over the south. Off of Darien, GA is Sapelo Island but we needed a private guide because we had Freckles. It was well worth it because he was a local. University of GA runs the public tour out of their research center.

We always experienced the rocking and rolling after we got off the Groverbuilt from a 6 hour (with the new Yanmar diesel) ocean ride to Bahia Mar, Ft. Lauderdale! Usually we noticed it when we were sitting down stateside.

When we moved to FL in 1987 BF (Before Freckles), a pod of dolphins played with our bow in the ocean off of the St. Lucie Inlet. The Groverbuilt had the Volvo Penta inboard diesel at the time and the boat had a semi-displacement hull so Larry could probably explain why they liked the boat. It was a wonderful “welcome” to FL experience for us and a nice reward for you for being able to get underway!

Jane
