This week we had a special treat. Jeff's brother Pete flew down to visit us from Iowa. We stayed at the Fernandina Harbor Marina right in the down town area and had the opportunity to walk around town. We also had Pete's rental car to drive around and explore Amelia Island, the beaches and Fort Clinch State Park. The most important part was, of course, to visit with Pete. Added bonus was to get some serious provisions (cases of wine and seltzer etc.).

When you approach Fernandina Beach there are two large paper plants, and it seems like you will be overwhelmed by the fumes and industrial site. In fact, you don't smell a thing, and as soon as you get to the marina you don't see a thing. It is a delightful town of shops, pubs and flowers. Beautiful brick buildings and old homes.

That marina is gorgeous!
