4/4/11 - 4/6/11 We bid Jacksonville adieu and went to Fernandina Beach Marina. We walked through the historical district, found some groceries and a fish market. We are beginning to see the architecture of the civil war era. There are even some structures left from the 1700's. It seems that fire was the end of most buildings back then either by accident or intention. It was fortunate that we decided to stay another night because a storm brewed up in the night and made it uncomfortable sleeping at the dock. It may have been worse at anchor. We left Fernandina Beach and crossed over into Georgia. We passed by Jekyll Island which was owned by world's richest families in the 1800's. The tides are up to a nine foot range here which is a whole new ball game. Along with tides come the strong currents which make anchoring a real challenge.
