The Experience

I didn’t expect the boat to be that wide—27 feet across feels different when you’re actually stepping onto it. The deck was open and bright, and there was this salty tang in the air that made me want to just flop down and stretch out. Our captain, I think his name was Mark, grinned and said we could sit wherever. No assigned seats or anything formal—just pick a spot and settle in. I liked that.

We drifted out from Savannah, past those marshy edges where the grass almost glows green against the water. Someone pointed out a pod of dolphins before I even finished my first sip (BYOB really does mean whatever you want—someone brought canned rosé, which honestly felt right). There were pelicans too, skimming low enough that you could hear their wings slap the water if you listened close. It was quieter than I expected for such a big boat—just wind and some laughter from the back.

Mark told us about the tides and how these creeks shift all the time—he grew up around here, so he had stories about getting stuck in mud as a kid. I tried to imagine being ten years old out here; it made me smile. The sun kept moving between clouds, warm but not sticky, and I remember thinking how easy it was to forget everything else for a couple hours. You can bring snacks if you want but honestly I barely touched mine—I was too busy watching the water change color every few minutes.
