Today we traveled 21-1/2 miles to Brunswick, GA to catch up with Ralph's cousin, Mickey, who he hasn't seen in thirty years.  We are tied up to the Ocean Petroleum fuel dock for the night which offers water and electricity for boaters purchasing fuel which we are going to do tomorrow morning.  They aren't open Saturday and Sunday.

We got permission to leave our dinghy at Brunswick Landing Marina and Mickey picked us up and took us to his house where I did the laundry and we had a lot of fun talking about the numerous mission trips Mickey has taken to parts of Africa and the islands.  Mickey lives in Brunswick on a beautiful piece of property on which he built a log home.  He's a horticulturist and has gorgeous plants everywhere.  He told us he is a manager for a hotel on Jekyll Island and won the award of Manager of the Year throughout the State of Georgia
.

This evening Mickey took us to Zachry's Seafood Restaurant and we enjoyed a delicious scallop dinner together.  Here are a few of today's photos:

The grounds are really beautiful

The huge plant is a staghorn fern -- I've never seen one this large
