Sept 30, St Mary's, GA

We moved from Brunswick, Georgia, past Jekyll Island and then Cumberland Island, then past the Kings Bay Submarine Base and up the St Mary's River to St Mary's, Georgia.

The sky is clearing - we hope.

Approaching the docks at Jekyll Island Resort, a crab boat cuts in front of us.

Jekyll Island Resort.

Cumberland Island once belonged to the Carnegie Family and heirs Thomas and Lucy Carnegie build a mansion called 'Dungeness' in 1885 (designed by Peabody and Stearns of Boston) and then several more mansions for family members. The property was acquired by the US National Park service and is now a Cumberland Island National Seashore, (a National Park) and available for tours and camping. There are a herd of wild horses here.

We have been looking for them for several years. A rare sight.

Great to have them with us.

Here Georgia is on the north side of the river and Florida is on the south side of the river. We are docked in St Mary's at Lang's Marina right at the downtown landing. Lang's Marina is the only marina in town.
