williams house owners try out windward sunset sail
Deborah’s daughters were staying at the Williams House this week and her older daughter, Jaime led a scrapbooking retreat. While they were here, we took the group out on a sailing adventure with Windward Sailing for a sunset cruise in the Amelia River. It was a beautiful evening with a nice sunset, calm seas and warm temps. We took along some subs from our local Fernandina Deli on 8th street and a few beers and wine. We enjoyed seeing fort clinch from the river side, shrimp boats at the docks, Cumberland Island, porpoises( or dolphins ) and learning a bit from our experienced captain about sailing. He even let Deborah steer the boat for a while as he rigged the sails. We’ve had several guests take this private sail and all have enjoyed it. We can now add our own reccommendation for a fun experience and a great calming end to a day.
