Made our way south to Hilton Head’s Shelter Cove Marina. Normally we would not be staying at so many marinas but the nighttime temperatures have dropped in the 30s. 
Simon met a new friend Mack. We are so happy Mack has a new home having recently been rescued from a kill shelter.
Relaxed a bit at Hilton Head and explored the surrounding docks. Thought it was interesting to see this posted on a fishing boat. Folklore associates bananas on a boat (especially fishing vessels) as bad luck. This probably goes back to the banana trade days and the vessels had to make time to deliver their cargo before it spoiled. The speed did not allow for favorable fishing thus bananas on a boat means bad luck fishing.
Steve made his last round to check the systems on the boat , as Simon supervised. 
Left Hilton Head for Savannah. The ditch (ICW) is winding and narrow at spots requiring us to stay on our toes to make sure we don’t miss the designated path. 
Arrived at Thunderbolt Marina and visited downtown Savannah. We ate at Wilkes Boarding House and the down home cooking was abundant. Twenty three different dishes on our table were shared family style, all yummy! Needed a nap after such a large lunch but decided we better take a long walk instead.
The prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has purchased a majority of the historic buildings. After renovating the buildings and preserving their historic architecture these building are sold to families or re-purposed as art studios. The beautiful church buildings downtown have all been well maintained and preserved. There are many small parks in downtown Savannah each having their own statue to commemorate an historic event.
After receiving our morning delivery of local paper and Krispy Kreme doughnuts, we slipped the lines heading to FL.
