2/14/2014. Friday Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!! What a georgeous day of travel we had today!!!! Chilly cold about 60 degrees all day but the sun was out and the sky was blue, and thats enough to make anyone feel good!!!! Heading north again this morning about 8am, we pulled up anchor and left Fernandina Beach. 
It took us about 5 hours to get to Brunswick, Ga where we plan to spend a few days. We were told by Paula and Jim that diesel fuel was really cheap at a shrimp boat dock just a mile or so before we got to the Marina in Brunswick. We called ahead and they said there would be someone there to pump diesel for us. We arrived at a little shack of a bldg., docked and walked up to the office. I attached a pic of this place!!! They were super nice and fuel was $3.14 gal. compared to $4.20 at most marinas. So it was worth the stop and waiting the hour for the guy to get there to fill our tanks. If nothing else we walked and walked until Lexie's was even ready to get back on the boat Ha !!, We came on down to Brunswick Landing Marina and tied up for a few days stay!!! I attached a pic of our first greeters ( it helped I was throwing out food for them)!!! I keep cat food on the back deck so no hungry duck or bird goes unfed!!!  A shower, this time makeup, blow dryer and curling iron included, we got all "gussied up" and went to Indigo Shanty restaurant. It was a recommended place to eat and a close ride on our bike. What a treat!!! Seseme Crusted catfish and blackened Mahi !! Yum and I did not have to cook!!! That was the best part!!! Ha 
We have plans to see lots of the town tomorrow along with a farmers market here at the Marina. Dont know how many days we will stay right now we will watch the weather and see!! Hope all got to spend some time with their Valentine today, I sure did!!!
Love to all, stay warm!!!  Ms. Fran and Capt Rod 
Coming out of Fernadino beach we saw this beautiful house right at the point of St Andrers sound!! It is the lighthouse keepers house, see next picture !!!
The picture just can't show the magnitude of this scene!!! 

Lexie says look Mom I see land and it's close!!!!

Coming into Brunswick!!! This bridge was awesome!!! Even longer and larger than the span bridge in Charleston, SC

Believe it!!!! This is a filling station!!! But the price was right!!!!

My first visitors at the Marina!!! They knew I had cat food!!!! Ha
