25 Mar - Day #21. High, light overcast, 70's and no wind. Weigh anchor at 0830 and head for the fuel dock. After 94 engine hours since Norfolk, VA we need 141 gallons (at $2.10/gallon). Mostly ran 1600 rpm and averaged 1.5 gph. Just north of King's Bay we found ourselves surround by thin water. Deployed the dink and sounded out an escape route. Picked up a mooring in Fernandina Beach (the $15 fee includes dingy dock and showers). Dinner ashore--rough life. 49nm today: 755nm total. DBH
