Jekyll Island - Last day

 

Any time there’s a body of water, there’s a threat of alligators - so signs are always posted

On the last day at a marina, we do “last day” things. First, there’s laundry - it’s always nice to leave a marina with clean clothes. Second, it’s good to have empty holding tanks. Third, we do last minute provisioning for things like milk, OJ, bananas, etc. We are now ready for our last leg to Titusville. 

I used three sunglasses together as a filter. This was late during the eclipse, just a chunk taken out

It’s an early start on Sunday so we can reach the Jacksonville free dock in the early afternoon to be sure we get a spot - although we’re so far ahead of the migration that I’m sure there won’t be a problem. We will meet up with Terri and Larry at the dock for dinner and trade boating stories. 

Yeah, fireworks 

It was mostly cloudy today and so we seldom saw the sun which was going through a partial eclipse in our area. It peeked through a couple of times and I took photos as best I could. It did grow dark in the early afternoon with the reduced sunlight that was compounded by the dense cloud cover. 

Then the sun set whole - the sun devoured was driven back

When I took Hoolie ashore, someone was setting off fireworks even though it was not dark enough for a good display. We wondered what the occasion was and why when it was still light out? We’ve been here a week, good rest, for now it’s time to move.

The peaceful end to a busy day
