Jekyll: It's only an island if you look at it from the water

On February 15, 2013, the Atlanta Chapter (Chuck, Fuller, Lori, Patrick and Steve) attended the Jekyll Island Green Screen, presented by Athens’ acclaimed EcoFocus Film Festival. We watched Chasing Ice, an incredible movie about climate change.

The Trip

We paddled Jekyll/St. Simons Island early Saturday, followed by a downwinder in the Intracoastal Waterway. The movie was Saturday night. We visited with Ben Carswell, Director of Conservation for the Jekyll Island Authority. Ben joined us on Sunday for a paddle near the Altamaha River. It was only 31 degrees while camping Saturday night (but warmer than Chasing Ice). See our photos below. The title of this post was inspired by Chief Brody (Jaws, 1975).
