Georgia











While on the coast of GA we had several dinners with wild Georgia shrimp. Fresh wild(not farm raised) shrimp make for some very good eating. We did go to the docks where the shrimp boats unload. The fresh shrimp sold for $4.00 a pound. Can't pass up a bargain, so we purchased 5 pounds. Just finished the last of them.




When we were at the docks we started to talk to one of the locals. He invited us to see his boat he was redoing. What a treat. The boat built in Brazil, was originally a power schooner. He is making it into a 4 masted schooner. It is almost complete. The boat is probably 120-130 feet long. The woodwork in beautiful. They where hoping to set sail in about 2-3 weeks taking passengers along the Atlantic coast.
