Change of plans this morning. The forecasts had Small Craft advisory up, Rain in Fernandina, and lots of NE wind for a few days. NE wind makes the crossing of St Andrew sound treacherous especially since you have to motor out into the ocean to round the furthest buoy. Even active captain warns of potentially dangerous waves here in 20+ NE winds.
So we decided to go the Marina near here called Brunswick Landing. I've heard great things and we thought we would check it out and explore the historical city of Brunswick, GA.
Had to work around a dredge to get here, Fueled up, pumped out then into an easy slip.
After lunch we went to town to look for a little grocery store for fresh veggies. While standing on a corner scratching our heads and looking at the map a woman stops up and asks if she can help us. She looked like a cruiser. We told her our issue with the map and she says "would you like to go to Publix instead"? We said OKAY.
She and her husband are cruisers and keep their boat here until time to go South. They are from near Winnipeg, Canada.
Wow what a gracious thing to offer. We had only been here less than 3 hours.
As they say in their ad here: "free WiFi, Free Laundry, Free Beer, Free wine, free water, and free friends."
