SHRIMP, GRITS AND FRIENDS

The past two and a half kaleidoscopic weeks have been the best I've spent since that awful night. Being on the boat and among friends was great! Time was filled with boat projects, cooking for all my friends, varnishing teak, taking inventory, a visit to St Augustine, good food and so on.

The Shrimp and Grits Festival on Jekyll Island was a lot of fun. The branches of the ancient live oaks spread like sheltering arms over the crowd.

As with all such festivals, there was plenty of music

plenty of stuff to buy

Lots of people

good food

and plenty of time to relax

The star of the show was the incomparable sweet Georgia Shrimp, prepared and beautifully presented by the numerous restaurants on Jekyll Island.
