10/10/14 - This morning we left at 7:45am to get a ferry to join a tour on Sapelo Island.  The ferry ride was 20 minutes long and we were met by a private tour guide and we had three travel agents join us on the tour.  It was very informative and the guide was very good.  The tour started at 9:00am and we were back on the ferry at 12:00pm.  It is a small island that once had a sugar refinery and a wealthy tobacco merchant that built a mansion.  The population is only 47 and everything is very relaxing.  They have a small store and post office.  Most of the island is owned by the State of Georgia.  We then moved from the Shell Station location to a Walmart parking lot and plan to do two more barrier islands tomorrow and then will be in Woodbine for a week.
