We are northbound, the most recent stop at Brunswick Landing Marina, where we will catch up on laundry, do oil changes on everything, and catch our breath before we push toward the Chesapeake. Our last stop in Florida was at Fernandina Beach, where we refueled. Our published tank capacity of 975 gallons is now confirmed […]
