Nice pics and location. I thought Jekyll was wide open - that looks like a huge beach!
PHREERIDER - 18-3-2009 at 05:00 AM
nice spot

Nice pics Johnny! That beach looks like those over in the UK. Just go any direction you want. Is the sand really hard like Jekyll?
johnnylaing - 18-3-2009 at 06:28 AM
yep. There are softer spots in the center of the bar, but that just adds to the fun...I like to scream in and float--it's smooth but softer...gotta
have wide tires! We had three points of sail we could work along the ocean's edge...not counting running in the trough next to the "pond"...I love
this place! Goin again today after work!

we 've had nice evening wind and tides

I might've asked this before, but is there public access or is St. Simons private ownership everywhere? Do I have to "know somebody"? Hehe, I just
happen to know someone there now.

Very nice location with hard packed sand! I'm surprised St. Simons is only just across from Jekyll as extra place to ride nearby :tumble:
acampbell - 18-3-2009 at 08:27 AM
St. Simons is just to the north of Jekyll and is VERY PUBLIC, which is the only problem vis a vis kiting and the buggy. Pretty soon it won't be
usable until next fall/ winter.
The sand bar that Johnny speaks of is at East Beach and is new this year and won't show in any google images, but it does offer some points of sail
that Jekyll does not.
johnnylaing - 18-3-2009 at 03:25 PM
yes, but the tourists generally go to dinner and whatever and leave the beach to locals after 5...
PHREERIDER - 18-3-2009 at 06:32 PM
yeah just like i got back form @8 ...the spectator show runs from around 5-6 and after 15min everyone is gone
johnnylaing - 18-3-2009 at 09:28 PM
exactly! amateurs go out when it's too hot and have to run when the sea breeze and sunset sailing is on.
