Georgia On My Mind – 4/1/06

We anchored out our first night in Georgia off the Cumberland National Park where we had some dolphin visitors. Today we travelled past one of only a few U.S. submarine stations. Unfortunately we didn't see any subs. That would have been very cool.
We arrived at Jekyll Island, GA mid day. A beautiful day here, in the mid 80s and sunny as can be. This island is the former winter residences of some of the industrial revolutions wealthy. The state of Georgia bought the island in 1948 for $675,000 and has preserved a large number of the old winter estates. Kind of like an elegant Mackinaw Island without the snow.
