Hi F&F ,
When we woke up in the morning, there on the cockpit were freshly made muffins and a newspaper. a lovely touch from the Marina.
As this was a shorter distance to go, we went into the ICW. It was good for Kevin to experience the boat in the narrow canals and see what the wake would do, and how the engines would perform at varying speeds.We passed by Jekyll Island with its lovely old hotel .It was the playground for the rich and famous, the Vanderbilts, Rockerfellers , and Morgans
When we arrived at Fernandina Beach Marina , we noticed the two big paper mills there we steaming away and fortunately with a northerly wind , we were up wind from them! The trip took a mere 3 1/2 hours. We went off to investigate the little old town which doesn't take long.All the streets off the Main Street were labelled First Street, Second Street and so on.Very Easy!
We turned down Fourth Street to see that our favorite Espana Restaurant was open! Booked to have dinner later on then relaxed for the afternoon.The meal especially the famous Fish Stew we remember so well, was wonderful.We wish we had several days here to sample more of the menu. The owner is also the main chef and they specialize in Spanish and Portuguese dishes.
Graeme and Kevin decided to watch the Green Bay Packers verses the Vikings American football game , so headed off for the local bar with a big TV .I went home to read.
Over and Out,
Erica.
