Lots of cruisers berate the Georgia intercoastal waterway because of it's twists and turns and few places to land and walk the dog. We however love the diversity and the many sounds that allow for sailing. This trip through we have been blessed to be in phase with the tidal currents and have made great time. The weather so far on our trip has been mostly ideal. Cold nights and sunny days which warm the cockpit early in the morning. Today we left a peaceful anchorage in the Federica River which runs along St Simons Island. The little fort is Ft Federica dating from 1730 and was the center of a settlement started by James Oglethorpe to halt the advance of the Spanish in the region. This picture was taken during the cocktail hour last night. The second photo is of the anchorage near the Cumberland Island National Seashore. It was taken during the cocktail hour this evening. Cumberland Island is just north of the Florida / Georgia border. Tomorrow we will be exploring the historic town of Fernandina Beach Florida.
