Marineland Marina brings mariners close to the long-established Dolphin Adventure on the Atlantic Ocean and the more recent eco-kayaking expeditions on the ICW.
As the marina began to fill up, it was the first time for us to begin to connect with other members of the Marine Trawler Owners Association. We were all flying our turtle burgees as we made our way to the MTOA Southern Rendezvous scheduled to begin in one week in Fernandina Beach.
Connecting the river to the sea was a lovely woodland trail complete with markers identifying noteworthy trees, vines and shrubs. At the beach we discovered outcroppings of coquina, sand and shells that had long ago been compressed into stone by pressures deep under the sea. We noticed cannonball jelly fish left behind by the out-going tide; favorite food of the leatherback tortoise.
Much to our delight, a long-time friend from the Berkshires of Massachusetts and his girl friend came to pay us a visit. Russ Clark has vast experience as a boat captain on the ICW and he was pleased to find us happily making our way on Summertime.
