November 25, 2010 Beaufort, SC to just south of Savannah, GA

We pulled up the anchor in Beaufort and motored past Parris Island, the Marine training base and Hilton Head Island until early afternoon to an anchorage just a little south of Savannah.  Finally we're out of South Carolina - six days on the water and 240 miles. 

Fixing Thanksgiving dinner was a little bit of a challenge - very small oven and can't turn the oven and the stovetop on at the same time because it uses too much power but we ended up with a great feast.  No turkey because of the small oven but we baked a chicken together with stuffing.  Oops!  Forgot to pick up celery yesterday and can't make a quick grocery run.  We peeled and chopped up potatoes and cooked them in the microwave; then mashed them with LOTS of butter and salt and pepper and half and half.  Fresh green beans steamed in the microwave, chilled cranberry sauce, the apple pie we cooked yesterday and a little wine.  It was all delicious and we were pretty proud of ourselves.  All this in the middle of a river on a boat.

Our cruise today was beautiful.  We spotted an eagle perched in a dead tree and saw lots of sea birds and some porpoises along the way.
