Florida State law says that if you purchase a boat in Florida you must pay sales tax on it or have it out of the state within 90days. Since we could not afford to pay the 10% sales tax, we made a dash for the border. We officially crossed into Georgia this morning at 1100 hrs. We now can keep the boat. About that same time we passed the semi-secret nuke sub base at St Marys River. It is where our Trident subs are based and you can tell they don't want any visitors. A pic of the base does not show the two patrol boats that were following us as we passed. We had to go out into the Atlantic for a short time to make a marker and it was real rough. Denniese said it was about to get to her. All else went well and we arrived at St. Simon Island Marina at 1600 hrs and we will be here for a couple of days. We are planning on departing Friday morning.
