Nous voici enfin rendu en Floride. Nous sommes arrivés par la mer. Une navigation de 13 heures qui s'est très bien passé. Nous avons presque toute évité la Georgie. Maintenant c'est la vraie chaleur, ici il fait entre 25 et 30°c. Nous avons fait une escale de 4 jours à Fernandina Beach (FL). Nous couchons à la marina qui coûte 15$ par nuit. De la caroline du Nord à ici, Nous avons vu Beaucoup de dauphins qui sautent tout autours du bateau. C'est incroyable. Un soir nous avons vu des dauphins justes avant de s'ancrer, alors nous avons descendu le zodiac et parti à leur rencontre. Nous en avons suivi 2 groupes et il avait même des petits d'environ 24 pouces de long. Wow c'est des animaux fantastiques. Nous nous tannons jamais d'en voir même si ... read more

We left Charlotte early in the morning, ready to a 11 hours trip (720 miles). But thunderstorms and the not so brilliant idea of detour from I-95 to the scenic A1A (which wasn’t scenic at all) made our trip became 13 hours. Here are two pictures from Fernandina Beach, at the extreme northeast of Florida. As you can see, they allow cars at the beach, but just on designated areas. ... read more

Nov.,21/2009 Fernandina Beach Fl. 30.40.305 81.27.965 To date we have covered about 800 miles of latitude. We left Charleston S.C. On the morning of the 19th and headed outside for the hop to Fernandina Beach area, arriving on the 20th. In slightly more than 24 hours we finished South Carolina, Georgia and began Florida. There are some choices here, go up to St. Mary's or head round Amelia Island, we headed to the beginning of Amelia Island. Although I am a bit nervous about these outside hops I must say these last two were reasonable sailing, motoring and motor sailing. From Charleston to our present location we encountered less traffic of all sorts and that was a bit of relief at night. The radar that came with boat certainly has been useful on the night portions ... read more

I love Fernandina Beach. We got here about 2:00. Anchored at St Simon Island last night and left at 7:00. had a pretty uneventful day. Not much wind until we go to the fuel dock and then it picked up to about 20 knots and slammed the boat into the dock. Sounded like fiberglass cracking. Everything looks ok but have to wait and see. Then we motored over to the slip for the night and tied up. Looked around and people were out on the docks in bathing suits sunbathing and drinking beer. It was summer again. We went into town and watched some football and drank a beer and saw a little blues band playing. Washing clothes now and then going back to a little restuarant that has a jazz band playing and get a ... read more
