Tall Ship in Brunswick, Ga

3/19/2017

As planned we visited the tall ship named Peacemaker today, and Clark got busy with the camera.

After touring Peacemaker, we walked around the park nearby - Mary Ross Park.

When we neared the edge of the park, we could hear music coming from town. It drew us in like moths to a flame. At the source of the music, we found a Jewish Food and Culture Festival in progress sponsored by "Jewish Georgians".

We found the music coming from Jekyll Square West where craft items and memorabilia were on display for sale. Across the street at Jekyll Square East, numerous tables offered food and drinks to raise money. Unfortunately, the music stopped right as we arrived at the park.

Band just concluded playing Hava Nagila as we arrived on the scene.


Having had a very pleasant outing, we headed back to the boat. I needed to do laundry and Clark planned to was yesterday's salt from the boat and then grease the thrust bearing on the port engine.

I had to wait a long time for dryers due to the number of loads another boater had brought up to the machines. While waiting, I had a lovely chat with the other women doing laundry. One of the two women is traveling to her home in Ocean County, New Jersey.

By the time I completed the laundry, my stomach complained loudly that it needed food as it was past time for dinner. As we sat eating, Clark suddenly jumped up, said, "Sunset!", and ran out the door.
