As the title states, we are no longer in Florida. We crossed
into Georgia a few miles back , further ensuring that we are most definitely
heading North. It was a glorious day, however, so we certainly cannot claim
that it's getting colder! 80F today and humid to boot. Our trip up the ICW has
been wonderful. We were yet again, a line up of boats heading North. We saw, as
always, some wonderful homes along the water way, but this one took our
attention more than others.
I really like the Triple Decker dock. Must be
really nice to sit out there in the summer sun.
Saw of few signs of industrialism as well. I thought that
crane was going to pick us up!
We are now anchored just off Cumberland Island. This
particular island is interesting as it is home to Ferrell horses. These wild
horses could be seen from the waterway, but we did not come up close to them
when we went to venture on the island.
There is a ranger station here and we are allowed to go
venture on the island, for a minimal fee. 
The trees are just phenomenal! We
felt like we were in a hobbit movie or something. The live Oak grows everywhere
and they are just dripping with Spanish moss. I found out yesterday that
Spanish moss is neither Spanish nor is it moss (just and interesting fact) Anyway,
the knurled branches sure gave the trees an interesting look.
The wildlife is abundant here too. We saw a deer, horses,
birds of all kinds and an armadillo, all of which are far faster than I am at
pulling out the camera and snapping a picture. Guess you'll just have to take
my word for it.
After our hike through the
woods, we got to the wooden walkway that leads to the Ocean, via the sand
dunes.
Although we did not see any horses here, the evidence that they exist
was everywhere in the form of large
patties and hove prints.
The beach goes
on for miles it seems.
When we finished our hike, we returned to the boat for a
lovely dinner and a game of cards with Jeff and Sue.It's amazing how different one day can be from the next on
this trip. Somehow all of it quite wonderful none the less. Don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I am
sure it will be good.
Good night all
