FREE AS A BIRD
Prior to casting off this morning, Craig and Dan began to install our new XM radio and antenna. They made great headway but will have to finishing snaking wires another time.
MEN AT WORK
Alexis volunteered to create a breakfast for us from some of our leftover rib eye from last night’s scrumptious dinner. A masterpiece to start the day off. Thanks!!
ALEXIS PREPARING OUR BREAKFAST FEAST
When time to cast off we had to wait for a passing small cruise ship being tugged up the river. It turned out to be the one we had previously seen in dry dock.
As we snacked our way back out the St. James River to the ICW, we spied a bald eagle setting atop a piling. Way cool!!
Our view of Fernandina Beach, the last port in Florida, showed a colorful and inviting little village that we hope to stop and visit next go-round.

How’s this for a picturesque shrimp trawler?

Solar powered lighthouse anyone? This we found in the St. Mary’s Channel.
SUPER SOLAR
We were lucky to see some of the wild horses on Cumberland Island. These magnificent creatures have a great view of the ICW and all the boat traffic going by their home. Kate and Suzie, you would have loved seeing them.
WILD CUMBERLAND HORSE
At the nearby King’s Bay Submarine Base (home to Trident-class Subs) we watched two patrol boats securing the area and guarding the submarine docked there. Now this was an awesome thing to see! These are the Big Guy Toys!
Our home for the night was Jekyll Harbor Marina where we found the local SeaJay’s Restaurant perched right on the banks of the ICW. We all had the special “Low Country Boil” with a mixture of fresh costal shrimp, smoked sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes. Now this was real “local food” and enjoyed by all of us.
