St. Marys, GA

Fernandina Beach, FL

Well, St. Mary's didn't seem very welcoming - we never could get anyone on the phone, and when we got there, couldn't raise anyone on the radio, either. So, we came along here to F. Beach, a little town I've been wanting to explore. It's a great place - will come to spend more time next time!

11-19

Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville, FL

Arrived here safely after transiting some shallow water at dead low tide...I don't recommend it! Makes for more stress than necessary! But are here safe and sound, and will let Mer Sea have a rest in this nice fresh water while we visit some family and friends
