Just before 2016 ended, my family and I took a trip to a brand-new place for us, Tybee Island, Ga. I can assure you, if God continues to let us live and be healthy, we will go back again.
Tybee Island is at the end of the road. It is laid back, quiet, clean and friendly. On Wednesday night, we went and worshipped at Chapel by the Sea Baptist Church. Great folks, knowledgeable pastor – Dr. David Laughner – and a pleasant experience overall.
But it was Little Tybee Island that drew my family and me to that location to begin with. Little Tybee, which is ironically named since it is bigger than Tybee itself, is an uninhabited island and accessible only by kayak; it’s like stepping into a chapter of Robinson Crusoe.
My family and I brought our kayaks from home and took a day to paddle over and explore the island. It was well worth it. But it would not be for everyone.
For starters, there are no, ahem, “facilities” on Little Tybee. Nor are there power outlets, televisions, convenience stores, Walmarts or hospitals. And so, while I was as happy as a clam at high tide, others would never even consider doing such a thing.
