What an extraordinary pleasure to be included in a small group of travel writer’s selected to gather at the King & Prince Resort on Saint Simons Island over the past three days. Fun is an understatement! We kept busy eating the fabulous food prepared by the new chef, Jason Brumfiel, and his talented staff. There will be more to come about my stay there over the next few weeks. Let me just say that it was one of the best times I have had in a very long time!
Yesterday, we got to take a ride on the Lady Jane, a refurbished shrimping boat we all boarded in the morning for a trip out to Saint Simons Sound. The weather could not have been more beautiful as we set sail. Pelicans and sea birds of all types flew alongside the boat. These are birds with personality! They sit on the boat, they pose with no shame and wait to be fed as the boat makes it way through the waters. They are bold enough to help themselves if the offer of fresh catch does not come quickly enough for them!
Three different times the captain ordered the net to be let down into the depths to bring up whatever sea life it dredged off the bottom. What a surprise as fish, blue crab and all sorts of creatures fell from the net onto the platform to be sorted through.
Phil, a very learned marine biologist, who is part of the crew gave us information on every different species and shared stories of interest with us all. His vast knowledge of sea life is amazing!
What’s that? A horseshoe crab!
And that? Stingrays! I didn’t know they resided in our local waters!
We were served a delectable helping of freshly steamed sweet Georgia shrimp by one of the other crew members. Yum!
I highly recommend taking a trip on the Lady Jane. The business is owned by Marine Surveyor, Captain Larry Credle. A lifetime of work on the water has left him with all of the necessary skills for running the Lady Jane. His crew is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This is the perfect family excursion during your visit to Georgia’s Golden Isles. For more information on excursions: www.shrimpcruise.com. You’ll find different packages to choose from including Captain Credle’s newest addition, a Pirate Ship. It’s sure to delight any youngster or the young at heart. It’s all in good fun and it’s a great learning experience.
