Festivities in St. Mary’s continued to build throughout the week and just when you thought things couldn’t get any better – it was the main event - Thanksgiving Day. Between cruisers and residents they estimated 275 people were at the feast. That’s a lot of turkey, ham and all the fixings. Afterwards, Dave and I were stuffed and looking for a good nap – just like back home!
It was a big event and even included the local Jacksonville news. Our friends John and Mary were interviewed for the segment and Captain Dave even managed a cameo appearance as he went through the buffet line followed by a close up of his plate overflowing with goodies – why am I not surprised by this? The news segment was posted on-line if you’d like to look for it – www.firstcoastnews.com – look for the segment called Docked for Thanksgiving.
You’d think the party would have ended on Thursday – but no – we are cruisers after all. Instead there was a cruisers swap meet on Friday morning which included mimosas.
Then it was time to head out again. Next stop Cumberland Island.
