Day 155: Hanging with Boat Friends

Oasis Marina, Fernandina Beach (mooring ball)

June 19, 2022

The town of Fernandina Beach is very friendly for walking although the beach in its name is over two miles from the marina.  We have especially enjoyed walking through the residential areas to check out the houses from the turn of the 19th century.

Yesterday we ran into folks we originally met in Spanish Wells and today we spent most of the afternoon with them at two breweries.  There’s such an easy connection with other people who live aboard maybe because we are all in (forgive me) the same boat.  We’re living in a very small space with few frills that requires many work-arounds; our boat friends provide advice and commiseration with no judgement.

We plan to head north for a few hours to Cumberland Island tomorrow where we will hike a little.  I am hoping we’ll see some of the wild ponies and some armadillos, too.
