We left Mayport at 07.00 this morning, passing the Naval Base in time to hear reveille and the star spangled banner  as the flag went up.


No wind today so we motored most of the 54 miles – heading north! Some interesting jellyfish and a sizeable shark on the surface. Maybe eating the jellyfish or perhaps looking for the turtles that nest all the way up this coast.

               

 We made it to our final destination for the summer at about18.00. St Simons Island is supposed to be a favourite holiday destination so we shall be investigating...... first things first though, a celebratory glass of fizz. We have been put on the ‘transients’ dock for the first night as the tide wasn’t  right for the permanent slip we have been allocated. A shame though as the view from here is beautiful – including a large Live Oak complete with Spanish Moss.
