4/11/11 Savannah is of course steeped in civil war history and is a deep water seaport. There are beautiful old buildings framed with cobblestone streets. We wanted to spend some time there so we arrived at the Savannah City Dock about noon expecting to spend the night. To check in and pay for dockage we had to walk several blocks to the city offices. They have a lengthy registration form which we filled out but when we were ready to pay, the clerk discovered that the docks had been reserved for a couple of ships that would arrive later and that we must vacate. That left us in somewhat of a bind because there weren't any available places to tie up and the next available anchorage was some distance away. We decided maybe we had seen enough of old Savannah and shoved off to find a place to stay for the night. On the way out, we spotted an eight foot alligator swimming across the Savannah river which of course may answer the age-old question " Why did the alligator cross the river?".
