17 Days On The Beautiful St. Johns River

8/20/13 - We arrived back at our home dock in Green Cove Springs, Florida after 17 days and 210 NM on the St. Johns River. We had an awesome trip. We finally made it all the way to Sanford, Florida and spent a week at Boat Tree Marina.  The Marina has a deli, beauty shop, pool, and poolside restaurant. Excellent staff at the marina.

Gerhard & Karen Munster fellow MTOA members live about 3 minutes from this marina. They were gracious port host, having us over for dinner & taking us grocery shopping. We enjoyed getting to know them both.


While at the dock we had some much needed electrical helm work done. While we already had what was suppose to be "new" electronics installed in April we later discovered this was not the case and have had to go to the expense of getting most of the stuff purchased and installed AGAIN. Hopefully that bad experience is behind us. With the new electronics the trip back north on the St. Johns came off without a hitch. YEA.


As always the St.Johns river is a beautiful and peaceful river.
