Cumberland Island, GA

It's been almost a week since I last posted. We haven't ventured far but have been very busy exploring. We arrived in St. Mary's, GA on Monday and spent several days visiting museums and enjoying the architecture of the town. The people are very friendly and make you feel welcome and right at home. We anchored a short distance off the town pier and would dinghy in and spend the day. We met only two other cruisers as the main migration hasn't started as of yet.

Friday we lifted anchor and went another 5 miles to anchor in Cumberland Sound just off Cumberland Island. This Island is incredible with pristine natural beach and the sand dunes as you can see in the picture of Larry and me. We have viewed the ruins of Dungeness, the Carnegie mansion. We have seen wild horses that roam the island. We have walked the many miles of ocean beach. One could spend weeks here and not tire of the island and what it has to offer.

Today we are going to take the ferry up to tour another of the Carnegie Mansions, Plum Orchard. This Island has an incredible history and we are sure to return for a future visit.
