Fernandina, Fla.

This place has been hit by two hurricanes.  Talked to a liveaboard next to us and he had 14 lines tied to his boat during both storms.  A spider web, he called it. 

Apparently, most damage was done by Matthew and Irma put on the finishing touches.  However, various levels of government have been dickering about the funding so that nothing has been repaired. 

Overlapping this is a similar story to Southport.  The marina is silting in and there are 12 agencies "deciding" how to handle it.  It's like no one cares about boaters and boating.  Just about where to put the mud so no one is pissed off. 

As of now, Fernandina's entire breakwater/face dock is kaput.  We are at one of only five transient slips and there are 12 mooring balls.  



Here are some dead boats piled up on the side on the way in....

Fernandina's famous factory skyline...

Ending on an up-note, Barry took another one of his famous sunset shots.  This is at Isle of Hope in Savannah, Ga.

That's all folks....
