Georgia On My Mind

We arrived in Brunswick GA on April 30 and rented a car for a two week trip home to VA.  In a few days we'll start the last leg of our Great Loop!

From April 19 to 29, we cruised up the St. John's River (FL) about 90 miles and back, and headed north to St. Marys GA, then to Brunswick.

MAIA at the dock a foggy morning on Six Mile Creek,
St. Augustine (the west side)

At our anchorage in the St. John's River among the
Seven Sisters Islands.  This very large alligator kept still
for hours but swam past our boat before sundown.

St. John's River, a calm morning.

in the Ortega River.

The Ortega River Bridge lifts for MAIA as we return to the
St. John's River, with downtown Jacksonville in the background

Just above the St. John's River on Sisters Creek, the view from
the free dock (one of three in Jacksonville).

We followed several boats up the ICW among the marshes

St. Marys GA!  MAIA was in FL for over five months (or
less than 90 days if questioned by the FL authorities)
