St. Augustine, FL - Week 7

I start out the week with a little.  

After 3 years full-time in the RV, it was time for a change.

Gary and out friend Rob, finally got the new LED lights installed in the Pantry, I can now see what I have in there!

Gary has been wanting to see the Cargo ship  that capsized and caught fire back

 in 2019 at Jekyll Island.  It is supposed to be sunny and 60's there 

so we head out for a day trip.

 

 Over the Bridge in Jacksonville.

Leaving Florida

and entering Georgia

Almost there . . .

We drive down the road to Clam Creek

 

 

 We couldn't see much for there and it looks like a blustery 50 degree day so we had over to Driftwood Beach where we might be more protected and able to see the ship.  There it is in the distance and we are lucky that the tide is going out.

 

 

 

 The Cargo ship is owned by Hyundai motor's ocean freight logistics company, It capsized and caught fire off the coast of Georgia in September 2019.

The cargo ship was carrying about 4,300  Kia, Chevrolet, GMC, GM, Mercedes-Benz, and Ram vehicles it has a capacity for 6,933.

All 24 crew members were rescued.

The 656' Golden Ray is being sawed into eight pieces and removed segment-by-segment.  We had seen on the news yesterday that they had cut off a section and placed it on a barge and it would be heading on in a few days.  Unfortunately it must be stored somewhere else because we can't see it.

Heading back we come across this Horseshoe Crab - a good sized one.

Flocks of Pelicans and Seagulls are more interested in this fishing boat than the capsized ship

and Tucson is just happy to be here.

Wish we had had a clearer day to get better pictures but maybe we can make it back before they finish.

We finish the week with a walk at Treaty Park

Hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner!
