Fernandina Beach, FL to Brunswick, GA
We pulled anchor at 8am, pulled up to Port Consolidate to fill up with diesel. Since we needed it anyway and they have the best deal (as long as you need 200 gallons), we decided to fill up here. Great guy…super friendly and helpful. This dock has been here over 50 years and it services mainly shrimp boats in this area.
After leaving here we made our way past St Mary’s and could see the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. Very large…they have a security boat just patrolling the waters out front.
After this area we are heading up the East River between Grover Island and Cumberland Island. Then right through Jekyll Island. I could see so much drift wood I had all I could do not to make a stop.
We headed on up to our Marina stop for the night in Brunswick. What a great place! They informed us happy hour was from 5-7 with free beer and wine, grills are available for our use. Showers and laundry here are both free as well. We walked to a little market and found some fresh baked bread and croissants for breakfast tomorrow. What a cute downtown!
So… evidently happy hour starts at 5pm and goes to 7pm here. Free wine and beer. Need I say more? We find our way there and listen to some great folks that have just finished doing the loop. Such valuable information! We rush back to our boat as a storm is approaching. We figure we are cooking inside tonight. So we shower and do a load of laundry ( even if we really didn’t need it, but because they offer it free).
Tomorrow is a new day❤️
