Florida and north.

Florida is different each time we turn a corner, from the basic fishing villages to the ultra-smart villages.

Strolling along the street in Palm Beach, beautiful smart shops, but sadly, at this time of year, all rather quiet. Great to see where the rich and famous spend their time and money though.

At the dingy dock in Fernandina Beach, Daryl and friends get some local advise from Captain Mark. He later gave us a lift to the local supermarket to buy provisions, wonderful hospitality.



Heading north and the land of Forest Gump and the shrimp fisherman. These large fishing vessels trawl the shallow waters near the entrances to harbours and hoover up, what must be massive amounts of shrimp. Here is one that we followed yesterday and there were pelicans, seagulls and dolphins all chasing the boat for scraps!!


We visited the Carnegie Mansion on Cumberland Island.
The place burned down in 1959. but it is still looks magnificent as a ruin.
There are wild horses everywhere and a huge number of park rangers keeping an eye on our every move!!
