MARCH IN JEKYLL ISLAND - THE COLUMBUS SHIPS

 The word was that the replica Columbus ships the Nina and Pinta would be passing by the Pier at Clam Creek on their way to Brunswick.  We headed down there to catch them and waited and waited and waited.  Then heard from someone that they had already passed through so we headed back as I had to check the bathhouses.   We later heard that the Pinta did come through shortly after we left but that the Nina had run aground at Jekyll Creek 

The Jekyll Creek stretch of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway is one of the most troublesome on the Georgia coast.  It has been called the Ditch since the early 90's. 
The crew of the Niña learned this the hard way when the 65-foot ship was left stuck in the mud at low tide

Another camper told me it could be seen from the bike trail just beyond the airport.  So off I went.

I'm guessing the crew had to be pretty embarrassed
