Jekyll Island Update

What a beautiful place this is, both the marina and the island.  Although the Jekyll Harbor Marina is relatively small, it has some really nice facilities, including an onsite restaurant (SeaJay's), a laundry, showers/toilets, plus a beautiful swimming pool and hot tub.


The island is very laid back, with miles of bicycle trails and long stretches of mostly deserted beaches perfect for long walks.  However, this island also has a fascinating history as the place where the rich and famous Robber Barons came to get away from it all.  There is a small Historic District where this history is honored and preserved, the center of which is the old Jekyll Island Club, now a beautiful hotel. Although we have a nice picture of it, plus some of the magnificent "Cottages" surrounding it, this blog program is currently not allowing me to access them.  Oh, well, technology is great --- when it works!

Hopefully, we can continue the story of our stay on Jekyll Island another day when this site is working better.  Guess we'll just have to hit the hot tub now to ease the frustration.
