EJO, glad you had an overall nice trip. Tybee is a blue collar version of Hilton Head and Jekyll is owned by the state and development is pretty tightly regulated. I've never been a huge Jekyll fan, there's not much to do on the island. St. Simon/Sea Island is a nice area. It has a nice mix of permanent and vacation homes and has a pretty healthy year round, non tourist economy.

I'm glad you got to rent a boat and see the marsh and back waters. Navigation can be tricky if you're not familiar with the area and the way the tides move sand and silt. Honestly, you wouldn't have had any real worries about sharks or alligators if you had gone swimming. If you had a dog with you, the gators might have been a concern if he was in the water but they aren't going to bother you at all. The sharks are just part of life, you pay your money you take your chances. There probably aren't 2 shark bites a year on the whole Georgia coast and those are generally in murky beach zones where the shark mistakes a person's foot for something else it usually eats.

Hope you found some good places to eat and saw some interesting things. Come back and see us again.
