November 10. We left Brickhill Creek at 0930 for the 2 hour trip to Cumberland Island.

Brickhill Creek actually borders the northwest corner of Cumberland Island but we were headed for the touristy spot. We anchored near the southwest corner of the island where we were treated to a really cool glimpse of the wild horses that roam the island. There is tons of wildlife there from the horses to armadillos to raccoons to deer, plus the usual sea life.

There’s a nice dock to tie up to so after eating lunch on the boat Jim & Deb and Christy & I took Molly & Tucker ashore. It is a special time for the dogs when we visit islands like this because we can let them run free and they absolutely love it! The island is criss-crossed with beautiful hiking trails through walls of breath taking foliage and striking sand dunes that are surreal.


We walked across the island to the Atlantic Ocean side of the island. Once there we walked for several miles down the beach. The beach was pristine. It was so clean that there was no sea glass to be found, as there was no broken glass.

After eating dinner and watching yet another beautiful sunset we turned in early since we had an early start planned for the next day’s trip to Saint Augustine.
