[COMPLETE] I-95 Cross-Country: Miami FL to Houlton ME

Leg 3: Fernandina Beach Municipal ( Feranandina Beach FL) to Lowcountry Regional (Walterboro SC)

Good hop and we dodged most of the bad weather while passing some of the gorgeous Georgia and South Carolina coastline - 145 nm, 01:26:00 enroute.

Blustery day even from the ramp:

Just north of Fernandina Beach is Georgia’s Cumberland Island National Seashore:

Very nice houses facing the Atlantic on McKinnon St. Simons Island:

Why it’s called the Low Country - a mix of fresh and saltwater reservations and wilderness with small settlements:

Added another 1,000’ to stay above a scattered cloudbase, as we catch a brief glimpse of Savannah GA:

Crossing over into SC, we fly over Pritchardville and catch a view of the exclusive Hilton Head island in the mid-horizon:

We dogleg west to stay out of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s airspace, located across the Broad River:

A nice shot of the Cessna JT-A - just because :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Declaring pop-up IFR as ASOS is reporting low viz at Lowcountry Regional, we turn into the approach for R17 (ATC insisting R23 even though the wind was from the south):

Passing over Colleton County High School on approach, and the field is indeed slightly obscured:
