20 miles south of Brunswick GA, this is the nuclear

submarine repair facility.  Two patrol boats just

circle all day keeping bad guys out.

Fort Clinch just north of Fernadina Beach

Keeping the bad guys out from 1652 until 1813

Many people live on boats

Here's a guy living on a 21 foot sailboat

Good luck young man, good luck

He did have a solar panel though

Another instance of the GPS being really, really off

We are not on land

Toast to another spectacular day!

 

We got up late but still managed a 35 mile day.  Many instances of shoaling

in the southern part of Georgia.  I thought I smelled a scraping of the bottom

but was incorrect.  We glided through 4.5 feet of water (we draw 3.5 feet) where

it had shoaled over.  A couple of boats behind us did a bunch of 360's trying

to find their paths, and all got through. 

 

We heard on Channel 16 (the hailing and emergency channel) that

a boat or ship had struck a right whale off the coast of Georgia.

There were reports of people in the water but then the transmission

became illegible as we moved further south.

 

A quiet day, still a tad cool.  It warmed

up by sunset, but got quickly cool again.  Some pork chops on the grill made

a wonderful evening!  Tomorrow we get up early to get to St. Augustine, one

of the oldest cities in the United States.

Aloha!
