The natural beauty of the anchorage was off the charts. See attached pictures. Also, we had a nice ocean breeze blowing over Sapelo Island all night so we never saw a bug! There are times of the year that No-See-Ums or biting flies would have been a problem, but not last weekend. Sometimes tropical storms a few hundred miles away are a good thing.
