Today was very memorable for me.  My family, and friends treated me to a 

very special birthday.  I started the day with mimosas, and it continued throughout the day.

We left at dawn with a beautiful sunrise and pulled into the Savannah Bend Marina at noon with another toast to my birthday.  The afternoon was spent exploring Savannah and then dinner at a 

ICW cruise ship  "American Star"

restaurant by the boat.  The older I become the better my birthdays are.  I LOVE it too.  I have decided that the ICW through Georgia is like  a maze.  It is very difficult to set the auto pilot as the river is so twisty turny you can't take your eyes off of it for a minute. Georgia is known for their large tidal differences up to 8 feet. Yesterday we were in the low tide and very shallow water.  Today the tide was high and smooth sailing all the way to Savannah.  Last night we had two experiences that were special.  One was a full moon rising over the water and the other was the Egrets roosting in the trees right next to the boat.  The birds glowed in the moonlight, it was very spooky.  Pictures couldn't do it justice, and believe me we tried.  This mornings sunrise was spectacular.  All in all it was " One of the best days ever".  Thanks again for all the birthday wishes. and gifts.  I love you all.
