Made Fernandina Beach on a blowy day, the winds have certainly been fierce. We toasted our arrival in Florida but the temps felt like we were skiing. Two nights ago we were in the marsh off the intracostal bundled up like polar bears. Florida set a new low temp record 28 degrees. By 2 or so in the afternoon it has warmed up to a blistering 56 but wow it is cold on board. In New England we have the good sense to stop sailing in this kind of weather. Fernandina Beach has a very industrial side but Amelia Island is actually very pretty. The marshes are still a lot like Georgia in fact some friends call all of Fla until St Augustine South Georgia , just because the the landscape takes a while to change. Weather forecast has been for more of the same so we will just leave the area and look for better bit of weather further south.
