Arrived St. Mary's GA
And now we sit for a while!This morning at about 10am we left Cumberland island for Fernadina Beach and we refuled, pumped out and took on water. We also let our cricket go! We found a stowaway while we were off shore and we put him in a little jar with an apple peel. I guess he wanted to get out of the cold. So today Hannah put him in a big planter near shore. George, the cricket, hung out for a couple minutes and then left before Hannah could get a picture of him in his new home. We also saw three baby sea turtles eating barnacles at the Marina. After that we motored up the river to St. Mary's and set anchor. The Marina here has just gotten going and they're trying really hard to be ready for people. So if you need a place to dock please consider St. Mary's. It's a wonderful town and a quiet friendly place to spend a few days. We are going to stay here through Thanksgiving as they have a Cruisers Thanksgiving. The town does the turkey and the boaters do the fixings! It's a wonderful time and after enjoying it last year we had to come back and do it again. So please come visit! We love making new friends and meeting new people. If you're in the area we will be at anchor here till the end of November.
So after we anchored we decided to put the dinghy down and go into town. But, well it had been since St. Augustine that we last put the dinghy in the water and we lost our block and tackle to let it down off the deck. So we spent 2 hours taking the lazerettes apart looking for it. Finally frustrated and thinking we must have lost the line we ate dinner. But after dinner in the dark I decided to take even more apart and low and behold there at the complete bottom of the starboard lazerette under the spare sails and canvas there it was the bag-o-spareline and the block and tackle was in that bag. It was a big relief! But it goes to show you need to write everything down! So we added it to the inventory and now we feel better. Tomorrow we will go into town.
