Our journey continued on from Jacksonville Beach and was going well untill we were in sight of our mooring buoy at Fernandina Beach. Coming around a sharp turn I didn't go close enough to the marks and ran hard aground. We were stuck real good. After much effort we were able to get the boat turned around and by backing up (about 1' initially) and goosing it forward we finally broke free. My confidence shaken we carried on to our mooring.
Our next stop was to be St. Mary's GA. We anchored in front of the town and spent 5 days resting and checking out Cumberland Island on a boat tour.
Now vowing to take it easy, we will be transiting some of the hardest sections of the ICW for the next several days on our way to Savannah GA. Starting here in Jekyll Island we will only be travelling at high tides.
