Entrance to the harbor:
Crowded "dinghy dock" with lots of cruisers coming in from their sailboats (see background) into town...
There were over 100 boats there, with at least 2 people aboard most of them, and LOTS of food! The gathering was held at a hotel/restaurant named "Seagle's" in St. Mary's Georgia. Everyone brought a side dish for a potluck-style family gathering, and the local yacht club community provided the turkey and ham. Here is a photo of the long lines...
Madelyn is here making her own name tag.
The sign-in sheet listed names, boat names, and hometowns of each boater. There were boats from Canada and all over the East Coast of the US. We saw a boat named "Katja" and another boat named "Meredith", our sister-in-law!
Our contribution was beans & rice, so wimpy compared to lots of wonderful dishes! But we were limited by time and our provisions onboard....
After the meal, we went back to Estella for a 3-hour nap!
Then we went back into town for dancing and live music at the park. Madelyn loved dancing with her Daddy, and I took Katja to a playground next to the park by the waterfront. We missed our families and enjoyed talking with them on the phone. All in all, it was a sweet end to a memorable day.
