Had to time everything around the tides and it just seemed like too much work. And it was so much hotter than South Florida ... we didn't expect that. Loved Jekyll itself though, the island grows on you.

We've talked a lot about taking her to Chattanooga, but I just don't think it would be the same. We've been lake boaters our entire life and we're having so much fun on the gulf coast we'll just put up with the inconvenience. Might go to Sarasota or St. Pete for a month or two this summer.

I'm working towards a week at the boat, and then a week at the house.
What we haven't heard from the OP is how frequently he can go or how long he can stay. Wednesday to Sunday is much better than a regular weekend.
