Savanna, Georgia 10/19/2012

Today we loaded our boat bikes into our car and drove to Savanna where we toured the parks and the waterfront on our bikes. The port of Savanna is a huge commercial seaport 10 miles from the Atlantic. We saw multiple ocean freighters coming up the Savanna River and past the river front which used to be piled high with cotton bales waiting to be loaded. The wharf is now filled with seafood restaurants and tourist shops, but no small marinas for cruisers. There is a courtesy dock where you can tie up for 2 hours, but we saw only one sailboat there.....too much commercial traffic! The city itself is elegant and rich with history. We'll be visiting Savanna again in the next few days.
