Today’s destination is Cumberland Island. We have been there before, but Donna is dying to stop and visit again. The nice thing is it will make for another short travel day and we can leave a little later to time the tide.
 
The journey is uneventful. We did a quick fuel stop at Fernandina and moved onward the remaining few miles to anchor off the Seadock at Cumberland Island National Park. If you remember, this place became a national news item when the late JFK Jr got married at the little church on the island. The only way to get here is by boat.

The anchorage was pretty full, with all the prime spots already taken. It took three tries before we found a location we were happy with. With the anchor down we took the rest of the day off. Tomorrow we will go ashore. Donna hopes we can get in with the motorized island tour and lessen the stress on her ankle.
