The Voyage of Irish Ayes

Mike and Pat began their "Great Loop" trip aboard their boat, Irish Ayes, on 6 October 2006. Irish Ayes is a 1986 Gulfstar, Wide Body Motor Yacht. Our voyage will take us from Knoxville, Tennessee, to Florida and the Bahamas in November, returning to Florida in December. In April 2007, we will aim the pointy end of the boat north up the east coast of the USA, stopping wherever looks interesting. We hope you enjoy our trip with us by way of this link. Mike and Pat

Cumberland Island, Georgia #1

Our plan after leaving Fernandina Beach was to go on to Savannah, anchoring at least for one night before arriving there. However, as we were pulling away from the fuel dock at Fernandina, Pat said that she would really like to stop at Cumberland Island. Mike was somewhat reluctant about stopping there, only because it was such a short distance from where we had been for the last couple of days, and his type A personality told him that we needed to put some water under the keel. However, he gave in and we anchored at Cumberland Island for two nights.

Here are pictures of wild horses that could be seen all over the island. They were beautiful!

There were horses also grazing along the beach. They were not afraid or scared off by people walking along or getting close enough to take pictures.
