Cumberland Island to St Simons - May 19

After a leisurely morning, we set off for St Simons.  The plan is to anchor near the Morningside Marina.  We are the next to last boat to leave Cumberland anchorage.  The wind is still 10 to 15+ out of the northeast, so we are back in the ditch.  We will be crossing two inlets today, St. Andrews sound and St. Simons sound.  Jim warned us that there can be some heavy seas as the sound is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean.  As we make the turn into the sound it becomes a bit bumpy, but it is doable.  We take a couple of waves over the bow and send some spray flying.  We come through the sound unscathed, but our adventure was just beginning for the day.  We stop at a marina to get some gas, water, and dump our garbage.  After leaving the marina, there is a small cut heading for St. Simons sound, and it is indeed small.  We got into some shallow water, but I was able to find the deeper water quickly.   Then we entered St. Simons sound and got the same treatment as we received from St. Andrews.  At the end, we decided that we would get a slip for the night; no anchor worries.  It turns out that they give you a paper and fresh muffins in the morning.  Nice!!
