Sail from Fernandina beach to Cumberland Island

In the morning Jo and I had one last quick shop around Fernandina beach and picked up a few t-shirts before we set off sail to go to Cumberland island.

Fernandina Beach main street

On our way we saw what we think is a Bubba Gump shrimp boat.

The sail to Cumberland island was not very far and in no time at all we were there moored up on the dock and going for a look around on the island where apparently there was supposed to be loads and loads of wildlife to see but unfortunately we did not see a lot all we saw were some very small tree frogs.

But we did manage to get to the beach just before it started to rain.

What we did see of the island was very nice but we got absolutely drenched by the down pour of rain on the way back and typically just as we got back to the boat it had stopped.

We spent the night on anchor looking at the beautiful island and listening to all of the creatures we could hear and looking at all of the magnificent stars we could see.
