Brunswick, Georgia

April 29, 2016, we said goodbye to Amelia Island,
went past Fernandina Beach on the way out, toward Brunswick, Georgia.

Great Egret, my favorite bird.

We saw a lot of dolphins today, and a big snake swimming on top of the water.

It was so calm, you could see the clouds reflected in the water. That is Cumberland Island in the distance, it is 17.5 miles long with 36,000 acres of wildlife habitat, including herds of wild horses.
 Unfortunately, we didn't see any.

This is the only structure we saw on the north end of Cumberland Island. There is no bridge, and visitors have to take a ferry. Overnight stays are prohibited.

I sat out on the bow for a long time while we passed Cumberland Island and St. Andrews Sound. It was so calm and beautiful, we saw very few boats, just islands and water. It was amazing.

Shrimp boat, bird magnet.

Coming into Brunswick, Georgia

Staying at the Brunswick Landing Marina, where they have parties with free beer and wine,
 most welcoming place we have ever stayed.

There is a beautiful clubhouse at the marina, this is a huge screened in porch that overlooks it.

Historic Downtown Brunswick, another Ritz hotel, a little older than the last one we saw.

Haven't seen one of these in a while.

The locals told us to eat at the Indigo Coastal Shanty, this tree is growing in the middle of their patio.
 It was just as good as promised.

Another great sunset from the boat.
