About Me

My photo
After years of talking/thinking about it we finally decided to cut the land ties, purchase a boat, and start a new adventure. It's that moment when you realize that instead of adjusting your working life to pay for your non-working life, you adjust your non-working life to live within your means. Even though someone else wrote this on their blog - I had to repeat it, because it is exactly what we came to realize ourselves. Yes "Drift Away" - we FINALLY get it.

CUMBERLAND ISLAND, GEORGIA

Cumberland Island, Georgia is definitely worth a visit.  When the island was donated one condition was that the horses were to remain on the island to roam free and live in the wild. Their life expectancy is only about 5 years and a lot of foals and their mothers die at birth.  They do not get any vet care and are only provided water if there is not enough fresh available. We anchored out near the Southern end of the Island and loaded ourselves and the dogs into the dink and went for a visit...




This was our anchorage among many sailboats.



You can watch the wild horses on shore.
