Our last stop in Florida was Fernandina Beach. What a delightful town! Lovely vibrant downtown, with interesting
architecture and hardly any vacant storefront.
We strolled the town, had appetizers and wine at one restaurant, ice
cream (at one of the FOUR places in town), and then a sandwich and beer at
another restaurant.
Interesting to note that we saw more dresses on women than we
have seen in a very long time. I really
wanted to ask someone about that, but didn’t find a good candidate! I took quite a few pictures of the downtown
area.
Today, Sunday the 15th, we left out of Fernandina
Beach around 9:00, and headed up the ICW with a planned stop in Brunswick
Georgia. In conversations with other
boaters, we were told to watch for the green biting flies – we’ve seen them
before north of Atlantic City. We heard
that the mosquitoes in Brunswick are the largest this one boater has seen! And the last piece of advice was that we will
experience ‘no seeums’ that bite all the way through Georgia and South
Carolina! We were given some dryer
sheets that, according to one boater, when rubbed all over your head and torso,
will keep the no-seeums away. We’ll
definitely try that.
Just near the Cumberland State Park, we are starting to see
many horse flies in the fly bridge. So
far, we’re able to keep up with them, swatting the ones who hitch a ride. We’ve closed up the rest of the boat so they
cannot get inside.
