A fan boat? For a marsh? Marsh != swamp and the marshes around the barrier islands off of Savannah are definitely deep enough for an outboard motor. Seriously, Henry could have taken a weekend vacation to Tybee or St. Simons or one of the other islands with beaches and been able to get enough info to write at least a somewhat plausible setting. At least then she'd have known that the sea isn't blue there.

NO NO NO NO NO! Did she even do a general image search of Savannah? Maybe browse the freakin' Wikipedia page on it?

WE WANDER THE quaint streets of Savannah, past old stone buildings and Greek revival homes with porches stacked up three levels, live oaks sweeping low and draped in Spanish moss.

How do you "joyfully" sing along to "Linger" by the Cranberries? What perky optimists even listen to the Cranberries? And would it have really been awful to use the name of a real island off of Georgia for the 11+ million of us who live here and might find it irksome to have someone just randomly make up places? I might have to DNF this, but I'm particularly grumpy today so I'll give it a little more time.

And you cannot get to any of GA's islands in 3.5 hours driving from Atlanta. Without traffic (i.e. at 3:30am) and going about 10mph over the limit the whole way without getting pulled over, you can get to midtown Savannah in that amount of time. The closest island with a beach is Tybee and that's going to be a minimum of 20 minutes more if you're speeding and there is no traffic. And there's usually traffic.

Oh, and the GA coast is south of Atlanta, so you can't "drive up" to any of the islands from there.
