Tues Jan 28 - In which we get started again...

 Brunswick Landing Marina to Fernandina Beach Bells River anchorage

We finally let go the lines from Brunswick Landing Marina at about 9:30 am on a warm-ish Tuesday morning.  Thanks so much to the wonderful Marina (A-MAZ-ING library to borrow from - I got 4 books and a puzzle)!  We traveled out through Brunswick Harbor with St. Simon Island off to the Northeast and headed south towards Jacksonville. We were so happy to pass under this bridge, which officially indicates that we are once again boating:

We traveled along side of Jekyll and Cumberland Islands, we will visit those on the return trip.

We arrived at Fernandina Beach with massive factories on one side and wonderful, solitary grasslands on the other side   A very strange juxtaposition.  

Doesn't it look like a roller coaster?!

We anchored (that is a really weird word, if you think about it - the more you say it to yourself the less sense it makes...  or am I the only one who does that kind of thing) just beyond two derelict boats, also anchored.  That made me completely nervy...  what if ghosts sailors are up and about at night??? How spooky do these look:

Pretty spooky, amirite???

Even this amazing sight didn't keep me from listening for sounds in the night... Mostly I just heard a VERY DILIGENT TRAIN...
