Tybee Island, Ga-The locals "Hot Spot"
We decided to get a jump start for our Cinco de Mayo celebration and cast away our lines. We set sail for a local beach only accessible via boat called Williams Beach. Thanks, Steve of SVCamelot for instigating the trip to go explore.
It was a beautiful, calm day. We relaxed and motored (no wind to sail) down the Bull River to rendezvous with Steve and his family. This was our first dinghy ride away from the boat while anchored off a beach and it went really smooth. Bella LOVED every second. She really knows how to embrace each moment and teaches this simple concept everyday! We experienced Williams Beach on a low tide so the marine life and island exposure was vast. High tide started rolling in around 3pm as well as the wind so we decided to pull anchor and head back to our marina (both wind and tide in our favor, yeah!).
Upon our return to Bull Marina, we were greeted by our fellow boat buddies who assisted with catching a couple of lines for smooth docking (great job Captain). Our adventure continued long into the night sharing 5 o'clock cocktails with Steve and Carol along with a variety of great conversation topics.
Somehow, the converstation turned into telling old stories about what we used to physically be able to accomplish like water skiing etc... before we knew it, Steve convinced Brandon to rediscover his water skiing abilities and go for it (we are talking about a long time ago). Not only was the water cold but it was Steve's small skif so not a ton of horsepower, if you know what I mean. They both successfully got up to ski and had a ton of laughs (I have photos to prove this). 
This was not the end of our night, though you would think it would be...then we all boarded the skif to head out and watch the last rays of a great sunset. The excursion took us down the Wilmington River where we saw grand homes attached to their even more amazing boat dock house (Brandon and I thought we would love to own just the boat dock house). Upon our return to Bull River Marina, the docking of Steve's skif went just like a text book what not to do when you dock. Both Brandon and Steve fell in from variable incidents leading up to a hilarious swim. Fortunately, neither one suffered any injuries!
I hope to attach photos from this day's adventure but I am new at all this so we will see...
Until next time...All Aboard!

PS This weekend was also my first time to Captain our dinghy and I had a blast! Thank you Brandon for being an awesome teacher, I love you!
