Day 79 & 80 & 81
Sunday, Mon. & Tues
March 20, 21, & 22, 2016
Day 79 Sunday 3/20/16
We left St. Augustine and went to Ft George, FL. Ft George is narrow and the tide and wind are frequently in opposition to each other. We moved from one shore to a marker during the night. Missing each by a narrow margin. Our electronics said we moved 1.4 kt miles while at anchor so you can see we shifted all night. It was quite windy too. I have been at this anchorage before and never liked it, still don't.
Day 80 Monday 3/21/16
We left Ft George and went to Fernandina Beach picked up a mooring ball and settled in for the night. We filled up with fuel and water in the morning and headed north again. Also picked up a 12 pk of coke. I was out, a desperate situation.
Day 81 Tuesday 3/22/16
We left Fernandina and crossed into GA first thing in the morning. The wind was very light but the water was not very deep. As we passed Jekyll Is. we were in water that should have put us aground. It is very nerve racking to be seeing depths the same as your draft. We managed to get through with out bumping by some miracle.
We are anchored in Frederica River just off the ICW.
