I'm in Fernandina Beach. This is an old city that has a lot of history. The Municipal Marina is really nice and reasonably priced. I've been here for a couple of days. Ken Wooten joins me tonight and we will leave Saturday morning going north. The picture above is a restaurant. Check out the carousel horses mounted to the porch rail.

This is a big oak tree that is growing in the middle of the street. The city elected to route the road around the tree.

This picture does not do this building justice. It is quite pretty.

This is a picture of the Municipal Marina. The peg leg pirate is actually on the old depot property. Check out the train tracks. This is a local train that starts to work very early in the morning and is quite loud.

This old train station is the local information center. This is a unique building also.

The Palace Saloon is the oldest bar in the country. I felt compelled to go inside and have a cold beer. This is a unique bar. Check out the pirate at the main entrance.

This is the Pelican docked. I've really used the bike in Fernandina Beach to get around town on. It is 3 miles to the grocery store. David Evans loaned me a couple of fold up bikes to take on the trip. They have been very valuable. I would suggest that anyone making this type trip have a bike or even better a scooter, if they can handle it on the boat.

This is a picture from the Pelican of the mooring field, provided by the Municipal Marina, and the sun getting ready to set. This is a beautiful scene.

Well, it's time for me to take a short walk down town to the ice cream store and get a double dip of ice cream in a sugar cone.

Later,

Carl
