Ken Wooten joined me in Fernandina Beach. We departed on Saturday and immediately entered Cumberland Sound which means we are leaving Florida and entering Georgia.

The picture above is a submarine station that is located in Cumberland Sound. It is quite an operation.

We stopped in Jekyll Island, Ga. Saturday afternoon and took a bike ride around the island. The picture above and several following are of Jekyll Island.

Below is the Marina office. There was a restaurant off to the left and they had a delicious dinner. We go a low country boil. Shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cobb, smoked sausage. Needless to say, I ATE WAY TOO MUCH. Boy was it good.

Today, Sunday, we are traveling through typical Georgia waterways. However the house below is located on an island, which was quite unusual to see. The Georgia waterway has very winding routes that, at low tide, are very thin. (shallow). Numerous times today the depth sounder was reading 2.6 ft. That means we actually had 4' water to float in. The Pelican draws 3'6". Not much room for error.

This is the typical scenery in the Georgia ICW. The next picture is where we are anchored tonight. We are in New Teakettle Creek. The tide has risen over 7 ft. since we have been here.

We also have been invaded by "Green Heads", a biting fly, that are very annoying. Hopefully the wind will pick up and blow them away.

Well, I need to prepare dinner, so I'm signing off for today.

Later,

Carl
