We spent the morning sailing down the ICW with the northerly breeze as far as Hilton Head and then we motored along the ICW to Savannah, GA where we had reserved a dock for a few nights so that we could spend Thanksgiving with my brother Chris and his wife Tami. In Savannah we tied up to the docks at the Bahia Blue Marina in Thunderbolt around 3:00 pm and used the last few hours of daylight to wash the salt off the boat and to pack our bags for the next three nights at Embassey Suites where Sarah's brother Chris is the general manager and helped arrange a room for us. As much as we enjoy the boat, when the nighttime temperatures were in the low 40’s as they were forecast to be while we were in Savannah, it is always nice to have some warmth and a hot shower which we found and thoroughly enjoyed at the Embassy Suites along with the complimentary cocktails and hot breakfasts every morning. It truly is a great hotel with very friendly staff and we highly recommend the hotel if you are visiting Savannah.
After checking into the Embassy Suites around 6:00 pm we went for a delicious dinner at Vic’s on The Riverfront situated in an old historic cotton warehouse. As good a dinner as it was, it couldn’t beat the news we received around midnight while snuggled in our plush king sized bed with six pillows that Sally had given birth to Isabel (Ellie) Marie weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and measuring 20 inches in length. We were overjoyed at the news and for Sally and Luis.
