The shoulder days

The cruise is the middle. The rig owns the edges.

Jacksonville is the port cruisers pick to skip the circus, and the country around it repays the choice. The Timucuan marshes fold around the terminal's own river, St. Augustine's barrier island is a straight shot down A1A, and Cumberland Island's wild horses graze just over the Georgia line. It's the rare port where the shoulder days out-photograph the ship.

Before the ship

Marsh and the oldest coast

The terminal sits inside the Timucuan estuary. Spend the day before in the marsh, then run A1A south to the oldest city.

After the ship

Over the line to the wild island

Northbound after the ship: the Georgia sea islands are close enough to claim before the drive home.
