10/29/15 Brunswick to Amelia Island

Shallow waters were encountered on our route to Amelia Island.  We had to be very careful that we hit the shallowest areas on a rising or high tide. Our hope was to be in Fernandina, but the marina was completely full due to the Florida / Georgia game on Saturday, so we settled for the marina just before the bridge. 

Ken and Ann settled in a slip but then realized that there was not enough depth and they moved to another location. We thought we were ok in our slip, but discovered in the morning that we were sitting on the bottom.  We waited until 1000 to leave.  By then we had a high tide and had floated off the bottom. 

The little restaurant here was conveniently located and the only game in town, so we had dinner on the outside patio.  We are still in the land of no-see-ums, and people from another table asked Ken if they could try his insect repellent (made of all natural oils).
