May 16, 2017 – Tuesday
Tuesday morning we sailed the St. Johns River, through Jacksonville, back to the ICW. I took a couple of pictures of a Great Blue Heron as we passed under Sisters Creek Bridge, the second picture was very strange, take a look and see what do you think?
At Fernandina Beach, we could still see much of the damage that was caused by Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. Damage to the Fernandina Beach Marina alone was estimated at $3 million or more. They still have no pump out, only 12 of their 20 moorings are restored, and the docks still have damage.
Saint Andrews Sound marks the border between Florida and Georgia. We crossed the sound and anchored Andiamo off of Cumberland Island, GA. Wild horses were grazing by the beach, birds were flying by, and we were the only motorboat in the harbor. Florida was great but we are happy to be headed north.
