Fernandina Beach, FL to Wahoo River, GA August 20

Fernandina Beach Paper Mill

Can You See the 2 Bald Eagles?

As we departed Fernandina Beach, Kay enjoyed (not) the aroma of their paper mills…reminiscent of her East Texas childhood. 


King's Bay Sub Base Degaussing Unit

Cumberland Island Wild Horse

After crossing the St. Mary River into Georgia, we soon passed the King’s Bay Naval Submarine base, and then moved northward behind Cumberland Island.  We saw lots of scenic marsh and trees, and near the northern end a number of the wild horses for which Cumberland Island is known.  We then passed Jekyll Island, former winter retreat  of many wealthy industrialists of a century ago, and St. Simon’s Island.

Can You Count the Surplus Nav Aids?

We crossed Sapelo Sound, and reached the Wahoo River where we anchored in a scenic bend with trees on one side and marsh on the other.  A full moon rose later, creating an idyllic isolated retreat.
