Jacksonville to the Georgia border

Today was a trip to the northeastern most coastal tip of Florida.  Mostly hard sand beach, there are numerous state parks.  Shelling was poor and the 53F temperature, light rain, and wind didn't help. Looks like three month and we have become Southern wimps.  I was hoping for a few (camera) shots of naval vessels from the Mayport Naval Station and Kingsland submarine pens but all we saw was a tugboat and Coast Guard helicopters. The 19th century harbor fort across from Cumberland Island turned out being the highlight of the day.  While  providing very little effective service from the Civil War through WWII, Ft. Clinch is a unique structure exemplifying harbor protection technics prior to development of the rifled cannon bore. It also appears that it would have been an excellent place to spend the Civil War (as a Union soldier). Surrounded by salt water swamp, except for its river frontage, its main purpose became to harass Confederate blockade runners.
