Brunswick Landing Marina Georgia

Fully
rested - time to survey our surroundings and start the many jobs of
cleaning, laundry, maintenance and packing - always plenty to do!
Although saving afternoon time to explore the town and provision for
the coming few days. Brunswick,
named after Braunsweig Germany, the birthplace of King George II was officially
founded in 1771 following the first English settler in 1738 who came to grow
tobacco along the Turtle River. The Glynn marshlands expand out towards St
Simons Island. The town, laid out by Oglethorpe, is a grid system, an historic
downtown street with cobblestone sidewalks shaded by palm and live oak
trees. Is
it hot! Apparently a heat wave - temperatures in the upper 90's and humidity’s
over 100% - hot, hot and sticky -t he fans are working over-time! Meeting new
neighbours as friends - many have come to stay out of the hurricane zone - some
living aboard - marina activities in the Yacht Club will no doubt reveal more
friends and stories to exchange. Even the ladies in the laundry room had
started on the cheese and wine socialising whilst waiting for the
washing!! Discovered
a busy bar and grill on the edge of the marshlands for evening sundowners and a
view over the shrimpers. Phil and Di
