All,
My wife and I may have a chance to relocated from Hudson, WI to Jacksonville, FL. Since it is -5 here at the moment this sounds very tempting. However we know nothing about Jacksonville! We have been doing some online searching and were very pleased to see marina's on the river. We are very familair with boating on the upper Mississippi river.
Questions I have about the St. Johns River.
1. How "fresh water" is the river
2. How far up river is safe to travel with a 380 sundancer or larger?
3. Are there transit slips available up river to explore other towns?
4. Please let us know you opinions of boating on the river.
*We have never seen the area so really looking for opinions.
Questions about Marina's
1. What are slip fee's. Have found some listed at 600 per month? is this average?
2. What marinas are best? We like an active marina, very much enjoy a good group of people, activites, weekend trips, etc.
3. Are all marina's in the river?
4. Is there an advantage to slip in river vs salt?
Any Jacksonville opinions/info are needed. Non-boating included.
Would you transport a 01 380 sundancer or sell and buy in Jacksonville?
Thank thank thank you in advance!
