St. Augustine to Jekyll Island

Today was our last day for Florida.  We entered Georgia today. Last night (Saturday) we anchored out at Sisters Creek in Jacksonville Beach which had just installed a very nice new free dock for transients just north of the boat ramp. We were able to get out and take a short walk around the ramp area. Mike of course had to throw in a fishing line.  This morning we did leave Florida behind. As we began our journey in Georgia we passed by Cumberland Island which our Skipper Bob book said to watch for the wild horses on this island.  We were amazed to see a couple as we passed by.  Today's journey ends at Jekyll Island in Georgia.  Many twists and turns in the intercoastal today.  We crossed several large bays and sounds today.  We saw the open Atlantic several times.. We have traveled 1,950 miles so  far, and have put 41 hours on the generator. This might have been a higher number, but the evenings have been cool and open windows do the job. Today was Mother's Day and we both called home to talk with our moms.  I also enjoyed talking to my children as well.  We miss everyone back home.  I will be looking forward to our short trip home in June for a visit before we continue on.
