Day 68 Cumberland Island

We got very industrious this morning and Jane made an apple crumble and I made a loaf of brown bread. The boat smelt awesome all morning which was a pleasant change from some other days. After a lunch of cream of broccoli soup and fresh brown bread with 'Kerry Gold' butter we packed up and went ashore again to see more of the island. This time we visited the ruins of Dungeness, a fabulous mansion belonging at one time to the Carnegie family. Today it is owned by the government and is part of the national preserve. We saw 4 wild horses grazing in the surrounding fields along with some wild turkeys and a few armadillos. What a great place to hike and see nature in its pristine state.









Tonight we are having a pot roast dinner followed by apple crumble with whipped cream, not bad for boat food. We will be leaving in the morning and crossing into Florida our adopted home state. We will be staying in Fernandina Beach at a marina for Thanksgiving.
