Description:
A red striped SeaRey on the pad for launch is a good sign that it is going to be a memorable day and time. This one was posed to take me to NYC to catch up with a yacht for some summer tending.
And, just to be clear, this was last summer! I’m a little behind in my picture sorting.

Built out of coquina mined from nearby Anastasia Island, the old fort has withstood time’s test since 1695. The limestone rock, composed of shell fragments from an old reef, was soft enough to absorb the cannon balls lobbed against it.

Fort Clinch has 5 million bricks in its walls. Construction started in 1847 to protect the port at Fernandina at the mouth of the St. Mary’s River.

Beach protection or corrosion? It looks like an erosion concentrator to me.

Black and white living separate and unequal lives. The black granular deposits are heavy minerals (zircon, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, garnet, chromite and kyanite) are common along the southeastern coast. Dupont mines them in older beach deposits located in northern Florida and Georgia. Their heavy densities allow them to be separated by gravity from the quartz grains.

The American Civil War (or the Second American Revolution, or War of Succession, or War for State Rights, or War Between the States, or War for Southern Independence, or War of the Rebellion, or War of Northern Aggression, or Freedom War, or War Between Brothers or whatever, depending on your perspective) started at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. The fort was surrendered 36 hours later. Four years later Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson came out of retirement to raise the same flag he ordered lowered in surrender.

I wasn’t the only one cruising the beach, and this cruiser was almost running his wheels through the dunes!

It’s easy to navigate the east coast. Just follow the beach.

Wild horses of Assateague Island are famed for their spring swim in Chincoteague Bay. Other beasts are of the winged, biting variety: greenhead flies, no-see-ums and mosquitoes are renowned for their attacks on beachgoers when the sun goes down and the wind dies.

This place is called Seacrets. I've been there a few times. I can hear the Jimmy Buffet playing just looking at the picture!<br /><br />Nice shots Dan!

In WWII you could get a good view of German U-boats prowling off shore from the vantage point of observation towers. Today you can just get a good view, but not as good as from a SeaRey.

Out on Great Bay are the bones of an old fish factory, formerly known as the Crab Island Fish Factory. It processed fish into fertilizer, but closed in the early 1970s.

Unfortunately, there are complications and considerations in the electronic ether, Jim. Sometimes on the ground realities have to be accommodated. Sigh.
