Day 204
We had heard from some of the people we had met in Fort Myers that Darian, GA was a must visit. They said it was seven miles off of the ICW but the town dock was a nice floating dock (important in Georgia where the tides may be 8 to 10 feet) and it was free including electricity and water. Also, they said the town was worth a visit. So we decided to give it a try,it was about the right distance from our previous stop and we would not need fuel yet. So we made the side trek up the river to Darian for what turned out to actually be 9 miles. The dock was as reported and we tied up for the night, just above the shrimp docks. The first thing we did was buy some very nice large tail off shrimp for $10 per pound.
There was not much to see in the town.
Building Our Wings at the Darien free town dock just upstream from the shrimp docks. We were the only transient boat there, but there were a few local boats and one liveaboard there.
We did have a nice dinner at Skipper's Fish Camp, which was what made the side trip worthwhile. Well, that and the fresh shrimp!
