Today Mark and I paddled only two hours to arrive at Alley Number 3 on Tybee Island. From the boat launch we walked up to friends Marsha and Ronnie’s house and borrowed a couple of boat carts to wheel our boats and gear up off the beach. It was a busy day for local kayakers out on the water. As we came in to the landing we saw three different tours out on the water and at the boat launch itself we met up with Marsha herself about to launch on a lesson with some students.
After wheeling our boats back to Marsha and Ronnie’s house we sorted our gear and got the wet stuff hung out to dry then walked over and celebrated a couple good days on the water with lunch at a local seafood restaurant.

Needing to get caught up on some long neglected administrative work, I borrowed a computer at the Sea Kayak Georgia store. Then later added a few recent photos to my slideshow which I showed to some local paddlers that met at the kayak shop before we headed out for pizza and beer (sweet tea for me anyway). It was a great day and I’m happy to be amongst good friends in Tybee.
