St Johns River FL 21-day cruise, PART 7: our 1971 Hobo houseboat survives Wind & Lightning! 

This is the seqment I have been waiting to see. I grew up in Jacksonville. Now live in NC.

We live off of Black creek and keep our boat at Doctor's Lake Marina. You have done more investigation of the gunkholes of the St. Johns than we have ever considered. Thanks for the cruise!

Beautiful. Jacksonville is my hometown. Great little houseboat to relax in.

I have lived on pottsburg creek for 52 years. Glad to see it on here.

When I was young, my family always spent a week at Lake George fishing during Christmas vacation. My uncle and aunt lived in Jacksonville. Fond memories. Your trip looked like an adventure I would enjoy.

Also was happy to see the Maxwell Coffee plant is still there. I remember when in town at night you could smell the Coffee

Great content my friend most of my boating has been confined to the west coast of Florida as I've stated before. In my younger days I did a fair amount of sailing and even you do without motoring it's amazing the amount of marine life you see shark, sea turtles, Manatee not to mention just large amounts of fish schooling. Thanks for the ride along always look gireardvto your posts.

I love to fish on the Trout River pier in Jacksonville. There is a cool railroad trestle that when a boat needs to pass it spins like a turntable. There is a diving school there as well

When you get off the st johns river onto the intercoastal waterway heading north on sisters creek it's beautiful trip through the marsh grass. If you need a break before you take the trip jim king boat ramp has a free dock just past the park parallel to a side creek.

We have docked there. It beautiful at night.

you can see rowers at Trent University just north of Peterborough

Phase 1 of the riverfront plaza project will include replacing the bulkhead and be completed sometime in 2025 after completion of Phase 1 I'm not sure if they will allow boats to dock their while they continue with Phase 2 my next video will be this project where I go into more detail on the channel Jacksonville construction projects.

I have done a lot of boating around the west side of the Acosta bridge. Tarpon run in this area of the river. They like all the mullet. I have never seen any sharks here, although I am sure the river holds hundreds of them. I have seen plenty of dolphins here, they also like the mullet, however they snack on the trout. You may have seen a Dolphin if the back only breaches then just down real quick, shark fin rides on the top for a good distance.

You likely saw Dolphins not sharks. They frequent the downtown area for meals.

🆒😇.

The military air craft can be nosy . It the sounds of freedom. So it doesn't bother us
