Today was one of those beautiful, blue skies, blue water days.  It was hot and humid and we had the sun in our face as we made our way along all of the curvy rivers on the ICW. Looking at all of the tall grass lining the rivers, you see how Savannah got her name. Steve Westgate (Gemini) met us on the river in his whaler and led us to his dock. We all had a cold one while we caught up on the news. We got together again that evening for cocktails at the Westgate’s yacht club and dinner at a local restaurant. It was great seeing Beth and Steve again and sharing Looper stories from our trips. Beth graciously loaned us her car on Thursday so we could go in to Savannah and see the sights. We began our visit with a trip to the Savannah museum, followed by a trolley tour. We had lunch on River St., and luckily saw the tall ships that had just come in for a huge celebration on the Savannah waterfront. We finished our trolley tour of beautiful Savannah and went back to our boat for cocktails with Beth and Steve. We really enjoyed our visit with them and hope to see them again soon. THANKS, Beth & Steve for your hospitality and friendship.
