Florida At Last!

Yeah we made it!!  Well at least we made it to Fernandina Beach. We made good time after the two last "dangers" in Georgia   One was at Jeckle Creek and the other was at Cumberland Dividings. Both went well with plenty of water.  I think the anxiety before is usually worse than the pass.   Fernandina Beach is a industrial looking place from the water, but on closer look ashore we found it to be really sweet. We were allowed to leave Quicksilver on the marina dock and fill our bow tank with water. (We had a leak under the bathroom sink. 50 gallons of water went under the sink and into our bilge. At least it got a good rinse. ). So we got directions to a great hardware store where we got a replacement facet nut. And then took a walk through the town. It was such a nice walk on such a beautiful day. (Not to rub it in with our friend in New York, but it was about 65 degrees and only going to get better this week)
We celebrated our arrival to Florida with pan fried catfish and sweet potatoes  and cold cold beer.  By the way we saw a dolphin in the Marinia about 5 feet away from us and it made is just light up. We never get tired of seeing them everywhere.
