Cumberland Island, GA

 We are beginning to see more and more pelicans!

 Different pelican saying "see ya!"

3 cat's behind us!

You don't see 4 traveling together at the same time

very often

 

 Brunswick, GA Bridge

 Range marker to Jekyll Island, GA

 I should be sitting on the beach with these guys
It's certainly warm enough!

 Range markers at Jekyll Island
You have to line them up to stay in the channel
If the closer one is to the right, you steer right
If it is closer to the left, you steer left
Here we're leaving the channel to continue around the island

 Bluff Island, GA
The railway takes the boats out of the shed, turns
them 90 degrees and plops them in the water

 A NOAA weather buoy around Bluff Island
It sends weather info; air and water temperature,
water/tide height, and humidity, and then we
can get that information over the internet

Nice scenery 

 See what happens when I let Bob drive
He takes us across land!
This is why you can't boat at night unless you have
a really good searchlight and radar up at the helm. 
The GPS is off course.
Had we followed the chartplotter at night, and we
couldn't see very well, we would be too far to
the starboard side and we would have run aground.

 As you can see, the water is already starting to
get cleaner...can't wait for the blues!

 Dream Catcher with the sun shining on her!

 Well Bob is done with the motor kinda....

we are back where we started only with a new handle

We don't have the right bolt that holds the handle on

so we are back to wire ties! It is on order though!

 The next couple of pictures is of Kings Bay - Naval Submarine Base

 The submarine base is the U.S. Atlantic Fleet's home port for
 U.S. Navy Fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarines
armed with Trident missile nuclear weapons.
 The submarine base covers about 16,000 acres of land,
of which 4,000 acres are protected wetlands.
It doesn't seem very secure with only one, "Security,"
boat watching over us.  But I'm sure there are howitzers
in the bushes somewhere.

 We believe this is where the nuclear subs come in and is used
to do maintenance on the subs...I tried going on line but wasn't
able to find out anything about it...

 This is what it looks like on the Chart Plotter

 Here we are in Cumberland Island
This is the most boats we've ever seen here
It used to be there would be 2 or 3 including us!

 This is where we go to land
The wild horses are the first things we see!

 For a real emergency call 911
if you just need signs call 443 456 3312
Shoreline Graphics!
Thanks for the koozie Jeff & Tricia!

 Gary coming over for Happy Hour

 Dolphins just hangin' in the area :-)

My new creation!

A Cumberland Island Sea Slug

A plump hot dog and cheese inside biscuit dough

A real tummy pleaser for Bob and Gary

Our sunset tonight

 

 A 69 mile day took us 9 hours.  As usual we had current
with and against us but the last 2 hours we raced along
at about 8 knots.  No wind, water flat.
When we got into the anchorage at Cumberland Island
the wind picked up and kept the no see-ums away for
Happy Hour.  I cooked the Sea Slugs, the boys were
happy, then Gary left.  I went to bed and Bob watched
4 hours of Criminal Minds.
