Why we come to St. Marys

We were on our first trip down the ICW in 2006 when Joanna"s stepmother died.  We were closing in on St. Marys, GA and a visit with good friends Menzer and Rena from Pierrepont Manor, who helped make it possible for Joanna to fly out of Jacksonville to attend to her father.   

That is how we discovered Lang's Marina.  It is a nice safe place to leave a husband or a boat, or both in this case.  Joanna flew to Vegas to be with her dad for ten days and I stayed behind to take care of Cats and boat.

Lang's has nice floating docks and a real treasure of a guy named Nat who is the dockmaster.  83 years young and married to the same woman for 60 years.  Now that is consistency!!! 

Unfortunately, Lang's also has the ignominious honor of having the nastiest bathrooms on the east coast!  Yes, the showers are hot, but my feet NEVER touch the floor in the bathroom here.  I will post a photo to prove my point.

But wait, i am getting off topic as this is supposed to be Why we come to St. Marys.

OK, here is why:  Rena and Menzer, Friendly Lang's, close to airport, great little Italian rest. The best seafood around at Lang's rest., cozy old time little town where you could write a novel, near Cumberland National Seashore (Cumberland Island). 

Like I said, I will post some pictures, but I think you are getting the point.  And maybe you see the bigger picture also:  Why we cruise the ICW!!!!
