A delightful little motoring twelve miles down the Cumberland River and then on to the St Mary’s River. We passed by the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. It is interesting to see a submarine base as opposed to the Naval Shipyard in Norfolk. Again all highly protracted and guarded but much of the submarine base in under “cover” or some sort. We pass by the degaussing station where they eliminate the magnetic signature of the submarines.
We wind our way back to St Mary’s town and anchorage. The current is swift and the tidal difference about 5 feet. It is a quaint little town with the possible comparison being Cape Charles or Onancock. A beautiful waterfront park complete with water fountain, kids playground and an amphitheater. There is a ferry that runs to Cumberland Island on the weekends as well as a couple of shrimp boats bringing in their catch of the day.
We walked the town for a bit, in and out of shops and scoping out our dinner options. The plan is to meet Charlie and Terry from Migration (now Osprey), Dave and Betty from Fancy Free, and Earl and Joyce from Carlina. All of these folks are Caliber owners so it is fun to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones. We had dinner at Langs Marina and Restaurant on the water and enjoyed stories around the table. We finished the night at Seagulls with some live music and then bid each other farewell as we head back to Ti Amo and Jaxon. It is going to be a nasty ride as the wind has kicked up and the chop in the anchorage is aggressive....but we are back and safe inside our humble abode.
