Thursday, April 6
After a late breakfast we headed off to Kilkenny Creek where Tom & Sandy keep their boat. It was still windy after last night's storm but at least the sun was shining. They took us along the river and explained about the marshes and river system that winds its way to Savannah in one direction and the ocean in the other - we were also hoping to see dolphins but we weren't successful today.
After lunch we went to Fort McAllister, which was built during the Civil War to protect Savannah from the Northern States forces. It was very successful at doing this and was never defeated in a battle with ships trying to get up the river. However it was eventually captured from the land by General Sherman's army who had over whelming superior numbers. The museum and fortifications were great, with most of the original fortifications restored by Henry Ford in the 1930s.
We had dinner at a quirky cafe at McAllister's Marina near the fort, and it was a great way to end another fabulous day in Georgia.
