08 December – Goodbye Georgia – Hello Florida
We headed out early this morning around 0730, leaving Jekyll Island behind and enjoyed a lovely and pretty uneventful day. The potential trouble spots of shoaling caused us no concerns.
Throughout our travels in the south we keep seeing these goofy birds. We haven’t researched to learn what they are yet. They sit on pilings with their wings outstretched as if to dry themselves. And some hold this pose on only one foot, as if doing a yoga pose. They always make us smile.
We said farewell to Georgia and its winding rivers as we crossed the St. Mary River and arrived in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
We were tied to the dock by early afternoon and spent the afternoon exploring this historic waterfront town. We are only spending one night here, but think we will be back again to enjoy it more fully.
On to Jacksonville, Florida tomorrow.
