Beth is frantic. It is after 7 and no paper and muffins. Maybe there is no delivery on weekends. She resolves herself to her usual non-St Simons breakfast and shortly after the paper and muffins arrive. Oh well, tomorrow's breakfast. We are gradually packing up and stowing the shore gear.
We say goodbye to our California neighbors. They are on a two year trip with their son; heading north and then on to Europe after hurricane season. They sailed from San Francisco, down the coast to Panama, through the canal, and Caribbean, and then up the coast of Florida.
The day is cloudy with the wind out of the west. I am considering going offshore, but the seas are still a little high, so we are back in the ditch again. Relatively speaking, it will be a short day and we arrive in Cumberland Island around 4 having left around 10. Right before we are going to enter the anchorage, we look ahead and see the entire channel is blocked. There is a huge dredge and the piping in the channel. Fortunately, this portion of the channel is wider, and we get around the dredge but have to contend with the other traffic (pleasure and commercial) that we have to deal with. There is only one other boat in the anchorage compared when going north when it was crowded.
