We departed our anchorage at Cumberland Island, and continued our journey towards the south.
We crossed the St. Mary's inlet, and passed by Fernandina Beach, with its industry, its shrimping fleets, and its great marina, where we didn't stop this time.
We continued down through the shoaling sections to the west of Amelia Island without incident, under the Sister's Creek bridge. We crossed the St. John's River, thinking fondly of our friends and their welcoming dock on Black Creek. As much as we wanted to stop and visit... we kept going south.
It is interesting to see one side of the ICW, for about 6 miles, is solid houses, and the other side, woods and swamp.
We pulled into an old oxbow that passes behind Pine Island to anchor in the afternoon, enjoying the birds. We entered from the south, as I've heard the entrance from the north is shoaled. We anchored N30 03.469' W081 21.312'
