St. Marys River, halfway between Georgia and Florida

Line for the Boaters Thanksgiving Dinner in St Marys, GA

Not to worry, everyone got enough turkey, ham, all the fixings and pumpkin pie they could eat.  Talking to the other boaters in line was part of the fun.  Great job done by the boating community in St. Marys.

Pollie found an old paper mill railroad loading building that fascinated her.  Evidently it took her back to her days working for the railroad as a switchman/brakeman.  The paper mill is gone, and they tried to make a go of the loading building being a railroad museum, but now it is abandoned.

The Orange Mansion

We tried to tour The Orange Mansion, built in 1830, but missed the closing time.  On the way there, Pollie found a balloon from a wedding with a note attached.  She has already responded.

Many of the people we have met in St. Marys tell us they came for a visit, and just never left.  Or, they came through here on a boat several times, and eventually swallowed the anchor and now live here full time.  Tomorrow, after the blue berry pancake feed on the house boat that serves as the St Marys Yacht Club, we are leaving.
