After the extended party at St. Mary's, we took a quick hop to Cumberland Island , GA which is a National Seashore and historic site. What a magical, peaceful place! There are miles of walking paths shaded by live oaks with their Spanish moss drapery and low palmettos everywhere. A short hike across the island took us to the Atlantic and miles of beautiful beaches. We cut back west to the ruins of Dungeness estate and saw wild ponies. Dinner on board s/v Pandora with Bob and Brenda topped the day.

Next day back to the "ditch" and some pretty scenery as we finally entered Florida. Spent overnight at the Sisters Bridge anchorage and then rode the current to St. Augustine for an early afternoon arrival on Sunday at the Municipal Marina. A reasonable $20/night for a mooring near the Bridge of Lions.
