Thunderbolt, sv Sabrina and Tammy Ann


Do you remember the s/v Sabrina?  She is a spectacular Hinckley Bermuda 40 that we saw and met over at Golden Isles Marina while we were in Brunswick GA.  Well....when we got to Thunderbolt we cruised by all the waterfront marina's and there she was at Bahia Bleu marina.  WOW!  We swung around and headed for Herb Creek to anchor. 
Tubby's Tank House
Later, we launched the dinghy and motored the two miles around the marsh back to Bahia Bleu marina so we could go ashore and have dinner with Tammy Ann of s/v Tammy Ann.  Why did we do this vs just taking a slip in the marina?  Because we have been in a marina for the last 3 1/2 months!  We coasted up to s/v Sabrina's slip just as her admiral was coming up on deck.  "Hi ya'll" she said.  Tom asked if there was a dinghy dock we could tie up to.  She looked around and laughed "anywhere - here next to our boat."  Then I said "I doubt you remember but we met before" and then I proceeded to tell her about meeting them at Golden Isles.  She told us where the restaurant Tubby's Tank House was and assured us she would be there all night.  "Leave your dinghy here as long as you want."  We were able to dump our trash ashore as well - kewl!
The Kansas kids - Tammy is from Kansas too!
We walked the short distance to Tubby's Tank House and found Tammy on the front deck.  We met Rick and Tammy of the s/v Tammy Ann previously in 2011 when we were in Sail Harbor getting s/v Honey Ryder's tuna tower built.  They are good peeps and we have stayed in touch.  Tammy is the one that clued me into Walburg Creek and Herb Creek anchorages.  Unfortunately Rick had to work.  We had a wonderful time getting caught up and talking all things sailing/livingaboard/cruising. 
Tammy and Rick - we have no doubt that we will see you again soon over the horizon in some anchorage with palm trees!!
