Florida to Georgia

Leaving from Ortega Landing in Jacksonville, Florida and our friends old and new.
Left early as the bridge was closed after 8:00 am.

Here we are in Fernandina, Florida at the oldest bar in Florida.  It started
as a shoe store and when the sailors did not buy shoes they changed to
a bar and guess what ?  Apparently men in those days preferred beer to shoes.

My (Tom's) hobby after the trip.
Decoupage maps unto oyster shells.

We social distanced dock tails with this group. Always great to hear
their stories and experiences. We left Fernandina and on the way to
Jekyll Island. We entered Georgia!!

We passed Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
Didn't see any subs. This is the structure they pull into after a cruise to degauss the ship.
(demagnetize) 

Jekyll Island is a beautiful place.  We rode our bikes nearly around the whole
thing.  The bike path led us to the Millionaire row where wealthy folks had built these
huge mansions. 

When we got back from our bike ride we found our burgee had
blown off and a nice boater found it and placed it under a bleach
jug so we would find it.  Tom repaired the torn piece and cleaned it up!

This is a huge car hauling cargo ship that rolled over near the inlet of an ocean inlet.
It was miss loaded when it came out of Brunswick.

Catching up with Sea Lord - Joe and Robyn.  We first met
them in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.  Georgia's beautiful marsh lands
on the right.

We set an anchor alarm at night and if the boat tracks out of the circle an alarm sounds and
we know we have a problem  (we we set it correctly). 
Here in Cresent River we had a 6ft tide so current changes direction twice during the night.
That's why our track made a circle.

Tom's early coffee time! He caught this picture and I am grateful that
he lets me sleep and see the pictures later.  I think this one will
will be hanging on a wall someday.

This is how you fill your bike tires on a boat (scuba tank).
I am so glad that we bought these bikes.  We tease each other that we should have
leather jackets with Maggie Jo lettered on the back.  We have been able to see so much more.
