Kingsley Creek Railroad Bridge beyond the Highway Bridge.
Doesn't this swing bridge look funny?
Awesome!We got up this morning missing an hour of sleep as all of you did as well. We had a difficult time getting away from the dock. The current was so swift and the eddies were swirling all around us. Another boater walking his dog happened along and gave us a hand. The tide causing the current actually helped us once we were away from the dock. We were moving at a really rapid 10.2 mph. Don't laugh. That's good for us. Once the tide started coming in, we dropped down to 6.5 mph at the same rpms.
We passed the Kingsley Creek Railroad Swing Bridge. There is no bridge tender here. Apparently, when a train comes, the bridge closes on its own with no warning to the boaters. So, you have to be aware of what's going on here. The bridge is in the middle of a paint job. No one was working today (Sunday), but it was covered in a white tarp.
We ended up anchored alongside Cumberland Island in Georgia. A woman named Mrs. Carnegie died and put in her will that her horses be allowed to run free on this (her) island. So, since that time they have multiplied and still run wild on Cumberland Island. We've not seen any yet, but I'm hoping to see some before we leave here tomorrow. I am trying something new. I took a video with my camera of the area where we are anchored. I hope it is viewable to you.
