To Fernandina

This quaint city is just across the line from Georgia.  The landscape has changed considerably so that now we see vast areas of "swamp grass" with small islands; actually very similar to the everglades.  The Amelia river proved to be a challenge in that the depths varied from a few feet to 40 feet and the distance between markers so great that it became difficult to stay in the channel.   The homes on the waterway were simply magnicent.
After strolling around town we had an excellent fisherman's  platter.
We have decided to take a breather and stay here for two nights.   This will also allow us to catch up on our maintenance of the boat, route planning, and laundry.

Who are these people??

They needed a tow so we did!(Dad is 90 years old!)
