The Coast Guard hailed us as we left Fernandina Beach, FL to inform us that Naval ships were coming down the Cumberland River. We were told to stay outside of the "greens" and to keep our bow pointed away from the ships.
This is not a good picture but it is of a Submarine escorted by 2 Minesweepers. There were several USCG vessels of various sizes as well.
This was quite an intense day as we encountered shallows and shoaling.
The tides here are unbelievable.
Jekyll Harbor Marina
This is a great Marina. Everyone friendly and helpful. The Cafe has a great happy hour and the food is pretty good too!
They have a loaner car which we took to town to get some supplies and to drive around the Island. It is lovely here.
This is the main entrance to the Cafe/Restaurant.
The weather has been unpredictable so we are on a weather hold here. We plan to leave early tomorrow morning since we have a long voyage tomorrow.
4/12 - We will be going to our first "Pot Luck" this evening. I say first because we hear that there will be many on this trip.
