OK, this thing is still surreal but we were able to get out on the Georgia Coast for a beautiful few days of sun and wildlife.

Ramps were open, restaurants were only doing take-out.  I've got to say that take-out fried Shrimp (sat in the boat for dinner) from Speed's Kitchen in Shelman Bluff was way better than another hamburger at home in Atlanta.

Hope you are all getting out SAFELY - see you on the water.

Is that a scum line I see on your boat

I KNEW someone would spot that!  

We had launched up the Ogeechee River near Ft McAllister and the water surface up there can get a little dirty depending on the tides.  Once I put down the camera, I grabbed one of the 3 sponges that we carry and wiped it off while still wet.  One thing about 23 layers of Zaino Wax, everything wipes off easily.
