A posting by the group Food Not Bombs in Berkeley, Calif., said it may build a "a floating food warehouse and communal kitchen to serve delicious vegan meals to participants arriving at the island by kayak."

Good Lord Almighty, the level of ignorance regarding locals, customs, and general information in this article is astounding!

First, let me quip, "Fools, even our vegitarians are meat-eaters... we're that backwards down here!"

Second, the writer's map may tell him Savannah is 60 miles away, but it's really closer to 90... I know when I leave home to go there to allow 2 solid hours of travel to reach their downtown area from mine.

Saint Simons is accessed by a single causeway, but Sea Island is even farther, and also isolated by another causeway off of SSI. It is not a simple trip if the police don't want you to make it. Many a criminal has been nabbed in roadblocks on either causeway.

And there's more- the heat, humidity, and malaise of summer here has to be experienced to be believed- it gets so dam' hot that walking from your house to your garage in the outside air will soak the lightest clothes with sweat- I mean dripping wet. I change out of a tank-top and light slacks at least twice a day, more if I do any work outside.

The local waterways, except for the Intercoastal Waterway, are shallow, serpentine, and usually dead-end. Even experienced boaters get lost and grounded routinely here.

Hopefully, the vegans will all go to Savannah. That way, Brunswick, St. Simons, Jekyll etc. will all be protester free.
