Cumberland Island and St Marys,GA

 We travelled 100 miles in the Atlantic and came in at Cumberland Island, GA.  Cumberland is the most southern Georgia Island, and is a beauty.  It is mostly a national park, where wild horses roam free.  It can only be accessed by boat, so we anchored by the park's office and did some sightseeing on the nature trails, and huge beach.  From there we went a few miles  up the St Marys river to the town of St. Marys.  The small town is rich in history and recently opened a small marina so boaters can enjoy the town and its great waterfront with bars, restaurants and museums.  It is the home of the Atlantic nuclear  submarine base for the US, Kings Bay Navy Submarine Base.  It is on the ICW, and the inlet we came in, is dredged to 50' and is how the subs access the Atlantic.

These dolphin were a hoot!

Can you spot the Sub?

St Marys is an old town with lots of history.  

Who knew the Acadians stopped here?
