May 19-20, 2017 Friday & Saturday
A bit of nostalgia Saturday as we sailed by Moon River, I couldn’t help but think of Mom and how much she loved the song Moon River. Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini wrote the song for Audrey Hepburn to sing in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s and it became the trademark song for the Andy Williams show. We watched that show with Mom every week in the late 1960’s.
Moon River is just one of the tidal inlets that form the Isle of Hope, one of the most affluent communities in GA, just fifteen miles south of Savannah. We are staying at the Isle of Hope and have enjoyed this antebellum community.
We went on a lovely walk around this morning and then used the courtesy car to provision Andiamo. While we were out we drove by Wormsloe Historic Site, the oldest of Georgia’s tidewater estates. Wormsloe has been the ancestral home of Georgia colonist Nobel Jones’s descendants since the mid-1730s. That’s a long time for a family to live in the same house.
Rick has a new love, a 35-foot Nordhavn that is moored behind us. He thinks we should sell the house, purchase a Nordhavn, and sail (or is that motor?) into the sunset.
