We arrived and anchored out just off of Cumberland Island on Saturday afternoon, Nov.28..Still a little cool and breezy...Grilled out and enjoyed a movie...
Sunday was glorious and warm!! Not much of a breeze... I got up early and made ham and cheese biscuits for our picnic on the island... Hopped in the dinghy and arrived on the island around 9:30am.... Words just can't describe the beauty of this island....The trees were just awesome, the vegetation, the beauty...wow... we walked all the way down to the Dungeness Mansion ruins..what a treat... Gen. Nathaniel Green purchased the Island in the 1700s , his widow built the original Dungeness after his passing... It burned and then the Carnigie family built again in 1884 and it stood until 1959 , when it also burned . There are also feral horses on the island and many were grazing in the yards of the mansion.... I've attached some pics...But none really do it justice..
