Cumberland Island National Seashore

2014 December 1
by Greg & Lyn

We anchored off of Cumberland Island for a couple of nights. It is Georgia’s largest, southernmost barrier island. The center of the island is a dense forest of huge oak trees filled with spanish moss, a beautiful white sand beach is on the ocean side and salt water marshes on the inland side.

There were wild horses that walked right past us, armadillo, dolphin swimming in the surf and lots of birds.

We walked through the oak forrest and down the beach then past the crumbling walls of the mansion that was built by the Carnegie’s in the 1800’s.

We walked the island with a cruising couple that we have run into several times since leaving Maryland.

Cumberland Island is really a beautiful place to visit if you ever get a chance.

    Don’t touch those armadillos. They carry bad stuff. You guys are really taking your time. By the time you get to the Bahamas, it will be about when you need to come home.

    Slow is actually hard. Learning how not to be on a schedule after being on one since kindergarten has been a real challenge. But we love a challenge!
