We went out with the Venturers over to Sapelo Island, GA. We first put in on Friday afternoon with only mild rain from Darien, GA and paddled over to Queens Island, GA. That's when we discovered that our "preferred" island to camp on had very few camping spots (was mostly covered by marsh). That and the few camping spots that were available was covered by oyster beds (not good for bottom of tents). So, off to Wolf Island we went. Wolf Island, however, is not that friendly. The big "ENTRY PROHIBITED" signs told us they're disposition to visiters. So, on over to Sapelo Island we went! Sapelo Island has a BEAUTIFUL, clean beach. We decided to camp on it for the night, and around 1:30am had to get out of our tents and move out kayaks and tents due to the high tide coming in (it came in a total of 100+ feet). The next morning we awoke, watched a Logger Head Turtle get released into the wild from some UGA students on the island, broke camp and then paddled up the island North-bound towards a reported pavilion and fresh-water showers. After taking a few dips (tumbled a few times in the kayak cause Lissa and I were playing in the waves), we arrived at the pavilion and camped out there for the rest of the day and through the night. Next morning we woke up around 7:30amish...cleaned up and headed on out. After a quick 13 miles back to the landing, we loaded up and headed on back to Jax after stopping by Waffle House and enjoying a nice cold Cherry Coke. Great trip!
