Jekyll Island, Black Friday


Jack and Ann planned to leave today, but with the high wind warnings and rough conditions they decide to stay another day. Between Jekyll Island and Cumberland Island to the south the ICW veers out on the ocean before it swings back behind Cumberland Island making for a rough passage under these conditions. Because of the high northeast winds and the full moon, high tides are running 1-2 feet higher than normal. We get one of the Marina golf carts to make a run to the local market. We get back to the boat and it starts raining. 

My projects for the day is changing the engine oil and the transmission fluid. Also I modify the engine air intake filter connecting it directly to the crankcase ventilation hose to burn crank case vent vapors. 

We all have a late lunch/early dinner at Zachary’s Riverhouse, a restaurant at the Marina. The restaurant is rather crowded and the food is very good. We finish the rainy evening playing cards on Blue Breeze.
