Tybee and Savannah fun...heading home.

Tybee Wind Surfers! We had great fun watching them till almost dark.This is why I love to go biking while everyone else is out chowing down at dinner. We get the beach all to ourselves. We tend to eat lunch out. More cost effective and smaller portions which is better for the waistline.  

Trying to reel her in! I liked this angle.

This is the North Beach section of Tybee Island...slightly wild and quite beautiful. He is actually now on the beach and trying to reel it the rest of the way in.

Beach house on the far south end of Tybee looking across to Little Tybee Island. This is quite close to the water...the high dune provides some protection but in a bad storm...it would likely be swept out to sea it's that close.

Dunes on the South end of Tybee. This shot captured how you feel when the beach is empty almost like being on a deserted island...sort of wild but wonderful.

A few of the 10,000 Savannah fans of Charlie Daniels! Awesome free concert. The man is 75 years young and plays like he is 18. He clearly loves performing. What fun!

Good night Savannah and thanks for the free concert...we'll be BACK!

Wind Surfing, Flags Flying, and biking on Tybee Island in April 2012

We watched two young men wind surfing last evening on the north beach section of Tybee Island. It was hard to get the kite and the surfer in the same shot...this was the best of the bunch. They were flying along very fast and were clearly quite accomplished. They stayed until it was almost dark and then had quite a time reeling in the kites in the strong winds.  We biked by the light house on the way and noticed they had hung a large flag off the top. Very impressive waving in the heavy breeze.

Now that's A Flag!

We did our part for helping a local charity raise money. They host an annual fish fry and for only $7.00 they fix fried fish, fries, cole slaw, hush puppies...AND grits. It was all quite good. We did have to laugh... the big sign was in the center of town so we assumed that was where the fish fry was...well not really.  Everyone in the small town of Tybee knows the fish fry is not downtown but out near the lighthouse at the American Legion building...they just did not say that...cause it's a small town and everyone knows where it is...but us and the guy following us looking for said fish fry. Too funny.  Everyone was as nice as they could be...they had tons of homemade deserts which I dutifully stayed away from.  Saving up the calories for tonight's dinner at Garbaldis in Savannah...followed by a free Charlie Daniels concert in the park. Looking forward to it...we even remembered to bring our folding carry around chairs! It has taken me several days to rest up and get recharged but now I am ready to go into Savannah for the evening. The manicure and pedicure with leg massage helped with the relaxing. There is a nice nail place...Pro Nails...only 6 miles down highway 80 from Paws and Paddles. They did an awesome job...I almost fell asleep!  Off to bike up to the south beach...have not been there on this trip...always a good view of Little Tybee and usually lots of kayakers as well. We have seen dolphins almost every day...usually see some on the south beach side as well...more later...
