7/20/15: Hontoon Island – Beach Tree Marina, Sanford, Fl – 13 NM

After spending a quiet weekend at the Hontoon Island State Park docks we threw off the lines and headed south to Sanford.

The birds are always spectacular!

Everything is on the move after dark.

The river is peaceful and relaxing.

The St. Johns River actually continues several miles south of Sanford however the water levels stops us just before the I4 bridge. We had beautiful weather for our short trip and docked at the marina before noon.

The last time we were here was in late 2013, for our Twelve Stones ‘shake down’ cruise. We stayed here for a week then and returned this time because of the deli, easy in/out access, restaurant, pool, live entertainment, & excellent staff.

Looking forward to some serious pool time.
