Savannah to Florida

We departed Savannah and did a 10 1/2 hr day arriving near St Simon's, GA after dark. After a short night anchored, we left at 5am the next morning. Finding our way out of Brunswick channel to the Atlantic in the dark was somewhat challenging. With a nice day forecast, we had decided to go "outside".

The trip from St Simon's to St Augustine (83 mi) was done about 7 miles off the coast on a gorgeous day. Anchored off St Augustine and went into town. We lucked out as it was "The Night of Lights" there. All the trees downtown were decorated with white lights and were all turned on at 7pm.
