From Jekyll Island past the submarine base, by Fernandina Beach



We got an early start this morning. It's raining but the water is pretty calm. I have to unzip the plastic dodger to squeegee the water so Steve can see! It is foggy when the rain stops- just as bad with moisture. We are finally making it to Florida!!!! Yeah!

As we go through St Marys Sound we see signs warning no one to come ashore- this is the submarine base! I kept looking for periscopes!!!
sign warning no one to tresspass!!!!!

Navy boats
You can actually smell Fernandina Beach before you see it! There is a huge pulp mill! The town however is darling- we would like to come back and see it. when you ask people that live there how they can stand the smell, they just say "what smell???????"
