In Georgia

Been almost a week since our last post - time is flying by! After a couple of days in St. Augustine we weighed anchor on Wednesday, April 22nd; and motored to Pine Island anchorage for the night. The wind was blowing pretty strong and we arrived at low tide. We are getting back to the lands of huge tide changes - up to 8 feet in Georgia. On Thursday, we made it to Fernandina Fl. Picked up a mooring ball for $15.00 a night. Upon arriving, we saw that Karen & Bill from "Blue Moon" (met in Boot Key Harbor), and Jan & Dick from "Cambia" (met in Fort Myers Beach) were there. Had dinner out with Karen & Bill at "Pompeo", an italian restaurant in town. Fernandina is a very nice stop - great shops, restaurants, and historic buildings. On Friday, we met "Blue Moon, Cambia, and First Light" for lunch & then explored the town all afternoon. Made a plan to travel with "Blue Moon" up to Georgia - 1st stop on Saturday was Cumberland Island. This is one of the MOST beautiful spots we have been to. Hiked the island to the beach, took a tour to learn about the history of the island, and even took a dip in the ocean. Saw wild horses & armadillos. Had dinner with Karen & Bill on "Kismet". Today we weighed anchor at 0645 and we will anchor off of Lanier Island by Brunswick, GA.
